CRIME PREVENTION TIPS
Homeowner’s Safeguarding Tips:
- Try to meet your neighbors and notify the police immediately of any suspicious people or vehicles in the neighborhood.
- Security systems should be installed by certified technicians and include a loud siren, sensors on the doors, and motion sensors throughout the home.
- Deadbolt locks can provide your best security. Using high-quality, name-brand locks can be well worth your investment.
- Consider installing outdoor floodlights that are motion-activated. Make sure that they are placed high enough so that they cannot be tampered with.
- Keep valuables away from the view of windows so that they cannot be seen from the outside.
- Use an etching tool to mark your valuables. Be sure to use your driver’s license number and not your Social Security Number.
- Keep model and serial numbers of valuables and keep them in a secure location.
- Trim trees and bushes around the property so that burglars have fewer places to hide.
- Keep grass cut and landscaping manicured.
- Keep the garage door closed whether you are at home or not. Thieves love to steal lawnmowers and tools from garages.
- Install peepholes in your exterior doors, and do not open the door to someone you do not know.
- Do not trust a safety chain. They can be easily broken with force.
