Home Safety Tips
Action is quicker than reaction. If you find yourself in trouble, it may be too late to take proactive steps, so before a criminal comes to your home, be sure to:
- Install quality dead bolts on all exterior doors... and use them.
- Make sure that all outside areas are well lit.
- Do not let strangers into your home. Workers are periodically needed to do work in your home. Insist on identification before allowing anybody into your house.
- Develop a defensive strategy should you discover a threat in your house. This should include how you would respond to an intruder, to a fire, etc. You should consider routes of evacuation and reliable methods to call for assistance. If you have a family, you should all understand the same plan and know where to meet outside should an emergency arise.
