Vacation Tips
Going away on vacation?  Notify Castle Pines Security with the Vacation check form as a PDF file.

Do: Safety and security are even more important than energy bills, so be sure to give your house that lived-in look while you're away. It's always a good idea to have a motion detector light outdoors. While you're on vacation, use a timer on indoor lights. Look for a timer that can be set to a random pattern so the lights don't turn on and off at exactly the same times every day. If you'll be gone more than a few days, hire someone to mow the lawn or shovel the walk. No matter how short your vacation, stop all deliveries and either suspend or have a neighbor collect your mail and newspapers.

Do fill out your REQUEST FOR SECURITY CHECK and turn it in to emergency Services. Indicate your departure and return date and whether you have someone staying at your home and would only require a “ROLL BY”. If no one is staying in the home, do not check “ROLL BY”. Do make sure your Knox Box key is current.

Don’t: Don't announce your absence on answering machine messages; leave your normal message on the machine. Don’t forget to fill out your REQUEST FOR SECURITY CHECK and turn it in to emergency Services. Don’t check “ROLL BY” on the REQUEST FOR SECURITY CHECK if no one is staying in your home.
