I am going on vacation and would like the Sheriff's Office to keep an eye on my home. Do you do that?
If you live in Carteret County, the Sheriff's Office will keep an eye on your house or property for you. Just call (252) 726-1911 and tell our dispatchers that you will be away and request special checks of your residence. Be prepared to provide the following information:
Departure date & time
Return date & time
Is your house alarmed?
Any vehicles in the driveway?
Are there any lights that will be left on or on timers?
Any animals in the house?
Anyone picking up mail/papers, mowing the lawn or with any other reason to be there?
Emergency contact number (must have keys to residence or homeowner)

We cannot guarantee we can watch your home every minute of every day, but we will do our best to protect your property.
