  HOMEOWNER'S SAFEGUARDING TIPS:

• Certified technicians should install security systems, including a loud siren, door, 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 motion-activated outdoor floodlights. Make sure that they are placed high enough not to be tampered with.
• Use an etching tool to mark your valuables. Be sure to use your driver’s license number, not your Social Security Number.
• Keep the model and serial numbers of valuables in a secure location.
• 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.
