The South Congaree Police Department is proud to offer the House Watch Program, designed to help residents within the town limits of South Congaree protect their homes while away.

​

How it works:

  • Residents who will be out of town for an extended period can register their home with the police department by filling out an application.

  • An officer will physically check your property, including doors, windows, and the general exterior. (Please note the police department does not provide 24/7 coverage.)

  • The program is free and available only to community members living inside the town limits.

  • A SCPD Officer will conduct a check when beginning On Duty and before going Off Duty (Hours may differ daily) and will notify you if any suspicious activity is observed.

 

Benefits of the program:

  • Peace of mind knowing your home is being monitored during patrol hours.

  • A proactive way to prevent burglaries and other criminal activity.

  • Quick police response if an issue arises.
