Vacation Safety Tips-Safety Tip Of The Week

click for more info

Many people are so happy to go on vacation that they forget some basic safety tips for their home before they go.

When your home is left empty it is the most vulnerable. And if you don’t think that burglars aren’t constantly looking for homes that are vulnerable you better think again.

So here are some tips that will help make sure that your belongings are where they’re supposed to be when you get back.

1. Make sure you stop your mail and newspapers so they don’t accumulate in your front yard or in your mailbox. A pile of papers in your front yard is a sure sign you’re gone.

2. Have someone mow your lawn and water your lawn and plants while you’re gone.

3. If you don’t have a timer for some of your indoor lights ask a neighbor to turn on lights every night for a few hours. The Programmable Timer will do it for you and randomly turn lights on and off.

4. And make sure you tell your neighbors that you will be gone and when you’ll be back. It doesn’t hurt to ask them to keep an eye on your house.

Two Little Known Safety Tips-Safety Tip Of The Week

Here are two little-known tips that are very valuable so I thought I’d share them with you.

A few weeks ago when I was attending a neighborhood watch block Captain training one of the things the instructor asked was how many people had insurance and registration papers in their car? Everyone raised their hand. I was surprised when he said that was a bad idea because if anybody ever broke into your car that would be what they would steal. Then they would have your address and other valuable information that could be used very quickly against you.

He suggested instead that you carry your insurance and car registration on your person in your wallet instead of in your car.

Very few people know this that most crime prevention officers (and every community has them) will do a free evaluation of your home security or even your business security and make suggestions that can improve it. This is something that can be done for free so why not take advantage of it. There may be a wait depending on how busy he is. But it’s well worth it.

Home Security Tips-The Real Value Of Neighborhood Watch-Safety Tip Of The Week

click image for more details

Last week I attended some training for the neighborhood watch program where I am block Captain for my building. The lead trainer, who is a volunteer, talked a lot about home security issues in general safety issues affecting the city-namely the shortage of police officers in the current budget crisis.

He pointed out the importance of the neighborhood watch program, especially now with fewer police officers on the payroll. He told us that burglaries for example were up 10% in the city last year and so far this year were up 15%-one of the few areas of crime that’s on the increase.

We talked about some ideas that could be used to help improve your home security. Right at the top of the list were motion activated spotlights and security cameras. Our trainer told us that real security cameras can be expensive and that Fake Security Cameras were a viable alternative.

I found out that the local police department does training classes for both personal security and home security depending on availability of officers. They will even do a home safety audit.

He recommends keeping some Self Defense Products located around the house in case of a home invasion.

Home Security: Ideas to Protect Your Home-Safety Tip Of The Week

click for more INFO

When you think home security several things work better than others. These practices are endorsed by insurance companies and police departments the country over. Why? Because they work. When it comes to protecting your home from burglary and home invasion why not go with the winners.

Here is a list of the most effective ideas. Some of these may appear to be obvious choices-they are.

Look at your home from the outside. Are there hiding places like trees and shrubs? Are there any obvious faults like open garage doors or open doors and windows? Does it look like an easy target? The bad guys are looking for an easy mark. Make them pick someone else. Put as many obstacles in his way as possible.

Advertising. That’s what I call it when you have things like Fake Surveillance Cameras and motion activated spotlights. Then there are the real signs like “Vicious Guard Dog on Duty” or Neighborhood Watch signs that tell potential burglars to stay away.

Do the obvious. Lock all doors and windows even when you are at home. If you have an alarm make sure it is armed. If you have a peephole use it. Most people reflexively answer the door without looking first. Not a good idea!

Nonlethal weapons In the event of a home invasion having some Pepper Sprays stun guns or even a taser located in different parts of the house can make a huge difference in the outcome of a home invasion.

Practice for a home invasion I know this sounds crazy. But as a family unit if you practice what to do in the event of a home invasion you will be prepared.

If you follow these WINNING IDEAS you will be in a much stronger position to secure your home against a home burglary or home invasion.
