Your House, Checked Each Night You're Away
A licensed security officer walks your property each night, tries the doors and gates, pulls packages off the porch, and sends you a photo report. $45 a visit. Book by the night or the week.
Security run to an intelligence standard.
The Police Watch Is Free. Add a Visit You Can Count On.
Southlake and Westlake police run free vacation house watches, and Keller police take house check requests. Sign up. We tell every client to.
Those programs run when patrol calls allow. Southlake sends officers or Citizens on Patrol volunteers, and calls for service come first. Westlake's watch covers trips of 3 to 21 days.
We add the part a patrol shift cannot promise: a scheduled visit each night, on foot, with a written report in your inbox by morning.
The officer knows which cars belong in the drive, which gate sticks, and who has your permission to be there.
What the Officer Does
Perimeter on Foot
The officer walks the full exterior: front, side yards, fence line, back patio.
Doors and Gates
Each exterior door and gate gets a hand on it. An unlocked one gets a call to you.
Garage and Vehicles
Garage doors down. Cars you listed still in place. A car you did not list gets photographed.
Packages and Flyers
Packages, door hangers, and newspapers come off the porch and go where you tell us.
Signs of Entry
Broken glass, pry marks, a light that was off last night. The officer compares tonight to the last visit.
Photo Report
Timestamped photos and notes reach you by morning. A problem reaches you by phone that night.
How It Works
Send your address and travel dates. We confirm the route and invoice the visits.
You tell us the gate code, the alarm company, the cars that belong, and who may be on the property.
One visit each night, at a time that changes. You get the report by morning.
Visits stop the day you land. You get a summary of each one.
What It Costs
One price per visit. Payment in full at booking. Sales tax added.
Each officer is a noncommissioned security officer holding an individual license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety, in uniform, employed by Thirteen Alpha Solutions LLC. Officers observe, document, and call police. They do not enter your home.
Home Watch FAQ
Do I still need the police vacation watch?
Yes. It is free. Register with your city and tell us you did. Our visit adds a scheduled check on foot and a written report.
What happens if the officer finds a problem?
The officer calls 911 for a crime in progress or an open entry point, then calls you. You get photos and a written report the same night.
Does the officer go inside?
No. Visits cover the exterior. If the officer finds an open door, we call police and we call you.
Are the officers armed?
Home watch visits are staffed with noncommissioned security officers, who work unarmed. Each holds an individual license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Can my street or HOA book together?
Yes. Five or more homes booked together pay $35 a visit each. An HOA can also hire a dedicated patrol by the hour.
What areas do you cover?
Southlake, Westlake, Keller, and Colleyville. Other cities by request when five or more homes book together.
How do I book Christmas and New Year dates?
Send your address and dates by December 12. We need payment and your property details before the first visit.
