Away From Home Program

The “Away from Home Program” is an invaluable courtesy service offered by the City of Punta Gorda to its residents. The primary purpose of the “Away from Home Program” is to offer vacationing, seasonal, and year-round residents the reassurance that if a problem exists at their property such as suspicious activity, utility emergencies, or other emergency conditions, the resident or their designated key holder can be contacted expeditiously.

Participants can provide contact information for themselves or a key holder which will enable the Police Department to more quickly remedy emergency situations.

It is important to note that the “Away from Home Program” is not intended, or designed, to replace home security systems or other security services. Rather, it is a courtesy service designed to further enhance the Police Department’s ability to rapidly respond to, and remedy, an emergency at the homes of our residents.

Individuals who do not wish to register for the program online, may contact the Punta Gorda Police Department at 941-639-4111 and speak with a dispatcher who will enroll them at that time.
