Darkhouse Program – Oro Valley Police

The Oro Valley Police Department offers a fantastic program you may not have heard about that may benefit many Oro Valley residents who travel frequently or have seasonal residences.  Called the Darkhouse Program, this unique benefit comprises periodic external security checks of your home by a police officer or a Citizen Volunteer Assistants Program member when you’re gone from your house at least 7 days in a row. Any signs of trouble or concerns will be immediately passed along to you or your designated contacts. Even Oro Valley homeowners who have their property listed for sale can partake in this program as long as they have furniture or property remaining in the home.

To register for the Darkhouse Program you can call the Oro Valley Police Department at (520) 229-5080 Monday-Friday, between 9am and 3pm, or by submitting a Registration Form linked here to the Police Deparment. Be sure to register at least three days prior to leaving. Should you choose to try and register by phone make sure to speak directly with a staff member as messages left on voicemail don’t constitute sufficient registration.
