Home Security Tips
Don't be a Victim
Below is a checklist of actions to take to secure your home.
- Do exterior lights illuminate all entrances to your home?
- Is shrubbery kept trimmed so a burglar can’t hide near windows and doors?
- Are garage doors kept closed and locked at all times?
- Are exterior doors made of solid core construction (including door leading from garage to house)?
- Is there a peephole viewer (1800) on the front door?
- Are sliding glass doors secured with auxiliary locks or pinned, and are screws in the track to prevent removal of doors?
- Are exterior doors secured with a deadbolt lock (single or double cylinder) with a minimum 1 inch throw
- Are windows secured with auxiliary keyed locks or pinned with a nail?
- Do you report suspicious persons or activity in the neighborhood to the police immediately?
- Are doors locked at all times?
- Are your valuables marked with your driver’s license number and do you have a record of them with complete serial number, make and model?
