VACATION WATCH PROGRAM

The Bandera City Marshal's Office is proud to announce our initiative aimed at enhancing community safety and designed to safeguard homes and properties when residents are away.

The Vacation Watch Program offers Bandera residents the opportunity to request increased police patrols and security checks of their homes while they are on vacation. This voluntary program is part of the Bandera City Marshal's Office commitment to proactive community policing, fostering a sense of security and trust among residents.

Participation in the Vacation Watch Program is simple. Currently, residents can either call or visit the Marshal’s Office at 511 Main St. in Bandera to provide details about vacation dates and any additional information that might be relevant for officers on patrol.

Beginning February 1st, residents may also submit a request through the Bandera Marshal's Office website at https://www.banderatx.gov/marshals-office
