Kerala: Individuals planning to travel and leave their homes unoccupied can take advantage of the “Locked House Information” feature available on the official mobile app provided by the police. This feature allows homeowners to notify the police about their locked and vacant house, prompting law enforcement to carry out enhanced security measures in the area. As part of the service, the police will conduct special surveillance of the home and its surroundings for a period of up to 14 days, ensuring added protection during the homeowner’s absence.
To activate this service, users need to provide specific details on the day of their departure, including the exact location and name of the house. Additionally, the names and phone numbers of trusted individuals, such as nearby relatives or neighbors, should be entered into the app to assist with contact if needed. This ensures that the police have all the necessary information to monitor the property effectively.
The app, designed for public convenience, is easily accessible on major platforms and can be downloaded from both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. By using this feature, travelers can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their property is being safeguarded while they are away.
