______________________ Crime Prevention Tips
Home Invasion / B&E Always secure
your doors and windows. Ø
Garages and
door walls are targets for thieves. Ø
Always
ensure your garage door and pedestrian doors are secured. Ø
Do not leave
garage door remote controls in cars not parked in the garage. Ø
Use 1 ½’’
dowel rod in the track of all sliding glass windows and doors to help prevent
them from opening. Ø
It has been proven
time and time again that the proper use and application of physical security
will stop a would-be burglar. Ø
Burglary
alarms are only as reliable as the person setting them. If you have an alarm, make sure that
every resident or employee knows how to activate and deactivate it, as well
as the security code. Larceny Ø
Always keep
control of all your property. Ø
Your
belongings are not safe while you are playing sports or at work unless you
have them properly locked or are in possession of them. Ø
Thieves wait
for the right time and will take property quickly. Ø
Unfortunately
you cannot always trust co-workers or other business associates. Ø
Do not rely
on others to watch your belongings.
If they fail, you will be the victim, not them. Ø
Be cautious
of who you allow into your home. If you invite guests that you really do not
know into your home you are inviting trouble. Larcenies from Autos / Car Theft Things that can
be done to combat auto theft and larcenies from autos include: Ø
Installing a car alarm. Ø
Using
steering-wheel locking applications like the club etc. Ø
Applications
of a hidden kill switch to the ignition system. Ø
Park in a
well lit well traveled area if possible. Ø
Always
maintain security of vehicle keys. Ø
Do
not leave anything of value in your vehicle in plain view. Ø
Always lock
your vehicle doors. Ø
Never leave
a vehicle unattended while running. Ø
There is a
trend of things being stolen from vehicles in the parking lots of fitness
centers and fun centers. While going to these places, be extra careful to
remove all items of value and secure your vehicle. |
