Tips for the home while you’re away:

• Inform the alarm company of your departure and make Harris County Precinct 4 the first contact while you are away from home, as this will save valuable time in getting law enforcement to your residence.
• Have lights on timers, as having lights on around the clock is a sign no one is home.
• Leave a parked car in the driveway with no valuables inside.
• Make arrangements for your pets whether it be someone coming to your home to walk and feed them, a boarding facility, or having them stay with a trusted family member or friend. Make sure your pet’s information such as ID tags and collars, microchips are up to date and give a list of emergency contact information about your pet such as preferred veterinarian, updated shot records, and other medical information with the authorized person(s) watching your pet.
• Finding a trusted person to house sit is one of the best ways to avoid your home looking empty.
• Find an emergency contact that can be called in case you cannot be reached.
