Home Safety Tips
Install exterior lights at all entrances. Consider motion detector lights.
Install a wide-angle viewer on all exterior doors.
Check who is at the door and do not open the door to anyone you don’t know.
Install good locks on all doors and windows. Use those locks!
Be sure locks on doors and windows can be opened quickly in case of fire.
Leave a light on when you are not home. If you are on vacation, use a timer to control lighting.
Don’t hide keys outside.
Remove house keys from your keychain when your car is serviced.
Talk with trusted neighbors. Keep an eye on their house and ask them to watch yours.
Stop mail and newspaper delivery when you are away.
Install an alarm system that will detect entry and notify police.
Have your lawn mowed and snow shoveled when away.
Close garage doors at night.
Keep trees and bushes trimmed. Do not let plants block doors and windows.
