Going on vacation? If so, as a Township resident you’re entitled to a Vacation Watch service that is provided by The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. Each day our uniformed deputies check residences of those who have signed up for this service.
To add your residence to the check list, please call the Sheriff’s Office Headquarters at (513) 825-1500.
Advise the deputy you’re going on vacation. The deputy will ask a series of questions ranging from your departure and return dates and times to emergency contacts in the event something happens while you’re away.
Additional tips to keep your home secure while you’re on vacation:
- Make arrangements for your mail and newspaper to be stopped or picked up.
- Have your yard cut and snow removed regularly. Your property should look like someone is present.
- Timers for lights and/or audible devices provide added security by making it look and sound as though someone is home.
- Advise a trusted person that you’ll be away and have them check on your home as well.
- Keep all windows and doors locked.
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office wants your partnership in the community. We have partnered with a company called Fusus, which allows us to see a snapshot of cameras available within the townships we serve. Please click here to register your camera/cameras on your residence or business. There is no accessibility to live stream your camera. This just allows the Sheriff’s Office to see what cameras are available and how to contact the owner in situations when a crime occurs around your location. The website will provide more information about this registration process and partnership. Thank you for your willingness to continue the partnership with the Hamilton County SO.
