Security Tips
 Leave
a light on when you vacation. Light
timers work well to deter a burglar
from your home or business.
Have your mail picked up by a neighbor
when vacationing or have your
local post office stop delivery.
Cancel any other regular deliveries such as
newspapers.
Remove shrubs or trees near your home
that could hide a potential
burglar from sight.
Don’t
leave ladders around your home since
burglars can use them to gain access.
Lock
all doors every night and whenever you
are away from home.
Install
sensor lights around your home.
Install
a monitored security and/or surveillance
system by
Guardian Security and Surveillance and educate
all family members
on how to use the system.
Install
deadbolt locks on your outside doors and
make sure all door hinges are on
the inside.
Don’t
hide keys outside your home, burglars
usually know where to locate them.
Tell
relatives or neighbors where you can be
reached when away from home
for extended periods of time in case of an
emergency.
When
you buy a new appliance, destroy the box
or hide it so others won’t know
you have something new and valuable inside.
Videotape, photograph and keep
a written register of all your valuables and
their serial numbers.
Store
valuable documents such as insurance
policies and wills in a
fire proof safe or safe deposit box.
Program
emergency contact numbers into your
phone memory
and clearly label them so it will be easy
to dial them in an emergency.
Take
a look around your home every three
months to see if you can get into
your home with out a key. If so, make a change to
secure that vulnerable place.
Check
to see if there is a Neighborhood Watch
Association in your community.
These programs help to keep you updated on problems in
your neighborhood.
They also get more people involved to help watch
and protect your home and family.
If there is no active Neighborhood Watch contact
your local police department
to start one.
