This is a state requirement for anyone engaging in or advertising to be performing home watch duties. An exception exists for companies and individuals that do not possess keys and perform exterior checks exclusively. Applicants must submit a license bond, three character references, submit to an extensive background check and complete a live interview. Going forward, licensees may be subject to audit and are required to report any new employees that will have access to properties. As a condition of annual renewal, a refreshed background check is conducted. To confirm an active watch license, contact the MA State Police Certification Unit at 978-538-6128.

Born and raised on the elbow of the Cape and making second homes my first priority since 1998.
As a lifelong resident of the outer Cape I was the third generation to pick up the mantel in the family construction business. In my early twenties, I called the Cape my home on weekends as I spent several years working for a variety of off-Cape commercial construction companies.
