SmartWatch
Our SmartWatch service is a vehicle security patrol service and
  is one of our safety initiatives. The vehicles conduct regular,
coordinated patrols in targeted areas to deter criminal activity.
 The SmartWatch team can keep an eye on your house if you
  are going to be away for travel or work for more than one
  night. They will look out for signs of damage to property,
suspicious activities or incidents that occur. They will report any
       observations or findings to you and/or the police.
You can book a holiday watch for a maximum of three months.

 across all the Libraries by visiting rockinghamlibraries.com.au
