PROTECTION TIPS

• Remember to lock all doors and windows when you leave the home.
• Keep all valuable items out of sight.
• Install proper lighting around your home to keep it well lit at night.
• Set timers for lights and a television so it appears that someone is home while you are traveling.
• Introduce yourself to your neighbors and get to know them. Also, take the initiative to start a Neighborhood Watch group.
• When you are out of town, do not lure burglars with stacks of newspapers and an overflowing mailbox. Either have a trusted neighbor pick them up daily or have the post office and news carrier hold them for you.
• Do not hide spare keys in obvious places such as: under doormats, in the mailbox, etc.
• Install a peephole in your front door to make it possible to see who is there without having to open it.
