Tips For Avoiding Crime-Safety Tip Of The Week

click for more info

Crime happens everywhere on the streets, at home and at work. So these tips are general in nature and are meant to help you raise your awareness.

Be alert and be aware of your surroundings at all times. The bad guys use distractions to their advantage.

When you walk, walk with a sense of confidence with your head held high.

Vary your routines and your routes. Predictability makes you a more likely target.

90% of all home burglaries happen through unlocked doors and windows. So start locking your doors and windows at home and in your car.

You can avoid car theft by locking your doors and use an ant-theft device if you have one. Remove temptation but putting packages in the trunk and park in a well-lit place.

Be informed of what’s going on in your neighborhood. One of the best ways to do that is get involved with a neighborhood watch program.

Carry a self-defense product such as a Diablo Stun Flashlight with you at all times even in your car. It is 5 million volts and has 320 lumen light power. Double protection!!

We don’t recommend a pepper spray in your car permanently because they are in pressurized containers and may explode.

Follow these tips and you may avoid becoming a statistic.

Home Security Tips-Safety Tip Of The Week

click for more info

Here are some home security tips for you that are inexpensive to implement.

Time, light and noise are the three biggest enemies of the home burglar. If you don’t believe me ask your police department or your favorite home burglar-he’ll tell you.

TIME-the more difficult that you can make it to get into your house, or in other words, the more time that the burglar has to spend getting into your house, the less likely that he will get in. He doesn’t want to get caught. And the longer he has to mess around breaking in, the more likely that someone will see him. So put up some obstacles in his way making it more difficult to get in.

LIGHT-burglars don’t want to be seen if they are doing their work at night. When you have some Motion Activated Spotlights for example, a light can shine on them when they move around. Chances are they’ll take off. Or if you have some lights on a timer inside your house, that gives the impression that someone’s home.

NOISE-if he have a burglar alarm in your house or Window/Door Alarms that go off when someone enters your door or window that maybe just enough to spook the burglar and get him to take off-exactly what you want.

So use this information to beef up your home security. It really doesn’t take much.

Do You Need A Gun Safe?

Nearly 200,000,000 Americans own handguns. That doesn’t even count rifles. So approximately 2 out of every three households in the United States has some kind of a gun in it. Most of those households have children. The number one reason why you need gun safe is for child safety and security.

The number two reason why you need gun safe is because handguns and rifles, especially, are one of the primary targets of home burglars. One out of every six homes is burglarized in United States every year. A home burglary happens every 15 seconds. Those statistics are courtesy of the FBI.

If you own a rifle chances are you’ll own more than one that’s why we recommend this Sixteen Rifle Safe that complies with all the federal requirements on gun safes, which are more stringent than other safes.

Then we recommend a hidden safe for handguns and one of the best is the Globe Gun Safe that can hold as many as 4 handguns.

Security Cameras Not Just For Businesses

This is a story out of Shreveport, Louisiana where police officials tell us that more and more people are buying security cameras for their home-they’re not just for businesses anymore.

You can read the rest of the story HERE.

“They’ve proven to be very helpful in solving some of the crimes we’ve seen as far as burglaries,” said Shreveport Police Corporal Marcus Hines.

Hines says cameras have helped solve more than just burglaries.  They’ve helped police close the books on several armed robberies and even a recent homicide. Cpl. Hines also pointed out that fake security cameras work really well except if a crime is committed then it is absolutely no help. We already knew that!

Our Security/Surveillance Cameras can act as a deterrent for burglars and help catch them if they aren’t smart enough to stay away.
This set of four Home Security Cameras can cover a large area around any sized home and can be viewed from anywhere there is internet capability.

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.
