Crime Prevention Tip

The door leading into the house from the garage is considered an entry door - It should be a solid core door with a dead bolt lock.

• Always lock all entry doors leading into the home.
• Ensure all entry doors are outfitted with a single cylinder deadbolt lock with at least a 1 Bolt.
• Homeowners should consider the use of a safe for valuables.
• A well-lit exterior is the first line of defense for discouraging criminal activity.
• Security alarms area good secondary layer to augment physical security.
• Contact the Crime Prevention Section for a free home security survey to assess the security status of your home.
