About House Watching
The department encourages citizens to notify us when their house will be vacant for an extended period of time. We request you provide contact information so in the unlikely event of an emergency at your residence, you can be located and informed of the situation. Stop in between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays to complete an Unattended Home Form or download the Unattended Home Form.
Business owners are also encouraged to provide their contact information in the event of an after-hours emergency at their business. For this service, use the Business Emergency Contact Form.
If you need to report suspicious activities in your area, call 616-949-7010 or use Silent Observer's Online Form.
