Most burglaries are carried out by thieves who see an opportunity to break in, and take it. For instance, around a quarter of offenders don't use force to break in, they get in an open door or window.
The back of your home is especially vulnerable, as thieves can spend longer getting in without drawing attention to themselves.
Making your house more secure and keeping the burglars at bay doesn't have to cost a fortune.
Don't be a victim twice - make sure you have your home and contents insured. Check to make sure your security measures meet the requirements of your policy. If you're not sure, ring your insurers up and ask - you may even get a reduction on your policy if you have good home security.
Home Security Guidelines
Lock all doors and windows, even if you are at home.
This may sound like common sense to some, overkill to others,
But it is perhaps the simplest way to keep unwanted guests from entering your home
(including some relatives)
Be sure to use high quality deadbolts on exterior doors and install pins in window frames to prevent them from being Opened from the outside. Use a bar or similar device on sliding patio doors.
Many of the primary locks can be easily defeated.
Install a wide-angle peephole Or Spy Camera, This will allow you to safely identify visitors BEFORE opening the door, If you cannot see who is at the door, DO NOT open it.
Install security lights around the perimeter of your house,These lights are relatively inexpensive and are great deterrents, especially if they are set with motion detectors.
Use timers on interior lights when you are going to be away for an extended period of time.These can be set to turn lights/radios/televisions on and off intermittently to give the appearance that someone is home and may cause thieves to move on to the house with "no one home".
This is one of the most popular methods of protecting your home.
Make sure that your premises is clearly visible from the street during the day AND night.
It is very frustrating and often increases the danger for all involved if emergency personnel cannot see your street address numbers when responding to help you.
Well-lit house numbers and reflective paint with numbers on the curb at your driveway help a great deal.
Do not allow landscaping to create a burglar-friendly environment, Keep bushes and trees trimmed away from windows and entry points to avoid creating hiding places for criminals
Engrave identification markings on your valuables. Avoid using your social security number, Instead, use your driver's license number, date of birth, or some other unique marking that would specifically show That the item is yours. Many, many items are recovered by the police and never returned to the rightful owners because they have no way to link them to the victim.
They will take a thorough, objective look at your home
and most are happy to provide this service free of charge.
Be sure to report suspicious activity in your neighbourhood to the police.
