Home Security

Burglars are looking for easy targets. If it takes more than a few minutes to break into a home, a burglar will head elsewhere. If they are forced to work in the light, can’t enter without making significant noise, or must spend a lot of time to break into a home, the thief most likely will search for an easier target.

Protecting your home means more than preventing theft, it means creating security for you and your family. Protecting your home and family from criminal intrusion should be high on your list of priorities.

Whether you are building a new home or would like the added security of a monitored system in an existing home, there are many cost-effective ways to add home security to your protection system. To make sure intruders won’t consider your home an easy mark we've put together a list of things you can do to help secure your home whether you are at home or away.

 

  • Use deadbolt locks on doors and windows.
  • Trim back shrubs away from windows and doors, so intruders have nowhere to hide.
  • Have working lights on switches and motion detectors at all entrances to your home, and in places such as privacy-fenced back yards.
  • Stop mail and newspaper delivery if you are going to be away over night.
  • Use timers to turn lights and radios off and on while your home is not occupied – even during the day while your family is at work or school.
