Who will be watching your home while you’re away on a well-deserved summer vacation? Will a well-

intentioned but untrained neighbor be watching, or will a not-really committed, untrained family member

or friend be watching, or worse yet, will a person with bad intent be watching your home while you’re

away? In recent weeks, local and social media reported home burglaries occurring while residents were in

the home! It has been reported that car key fobs were the objective.

Are you anxious about the safety of your home? Where are you storing those key fobs? That anxiety will

rob you of the peace of mind that a well-deserved vacation offers. HomeWatch of Westfield is the remedy

for the anxiety that comes from leaving your home inadequately watched.

HomeWatch of Westfield is a retired New Jersey State Trooper-owned, National Home Watch Association-

affiliated business that offers custom-designed, discreet home watch services to clients in the Westfield

area. It is HomeWatch of Westfield’s mission to provide anxious homeowners with peace of mind,

knowing that while they are away, a qualified investigator-inspector is on the property actively looking for

structural and security issues that affect the security of a client’s home.  

HomeWatch of Westfield watches homes whose owners are away for any length of time. Current clients

include day-away, long-weekend-away, extended vacation/business-trips-away, and snowbird/seasonal-

away clients. No time away from home is too short or too long for HomeWatch of Westfield. Many

homeowners’ insurance policies prohibit leaving a home unoccupied for extended periods (10 days or

more); HomeWatch of Westfield’s home watch services satisfy those requirements.

In addition to home watch services, HomeWatch of Westfield offers Burglary Deterrence services to each

home watch client. Burglary Deterrence is a set of actions that identifies situations and circumstances

likely to lead persons with bad intent to believe a home is an easy target for burglary or even a home

invasion, and then takes steps to remediate those deficiencies. Burglary deterrence includes a

homeowner’s procurement and use of Faraday bags and other signal-blocking devices to protect car key

fobs and other sensitive electronic equipment. As it is, HomeWatch of Westfield is a civilian supplement

and alternative to the Westfield Police Department’s patrol mission.

HomeWatch of Westfield is faith considerate.
