The U.S. Department of Justice defines household burglary as “unlawful entry or attempted entry of a residence.” This crime usually, but not always, involves theft. Of all the major criminal offenses, residential burglary is the most common. By following these simple steps, you can reduce the possibility that your home will be targeted. Doors and Windows Windows have latches and not locks, therefore, install secondary locking devices on all windows. Exterior and Landscape Install lights in areas around doors, walkways, and driveways. Locate outside lights high and out of reach. Alarm Systems Choose a reputable, well established company. Learn how to use your alarm system properly to reduce false alarms. Fines can be assessed for excessive false alarms. Do not write your alarm code/ password on or near the alarm keypad. All exterior doors should be solid core or of metal construction. Use inexpensive timers or photo electric cells to automatically turn the lights on and off at dusk and dawn. All entry doors should be equipped with a good quality deadbolt lock having a minimum of a one inch throw. Trim shrubbery and trees so doors and windows are visible from the street. Make sure your alarm call back list is always up to date. A good quality double cylinder deadbolt lock should be used if there is glass within 40 inches of the lock. If there is a second floor, prune the trees so that a thief cannot use them to reach a second floor window. Additional Information If using a double cylinder deadbolt lock, make sure a key is readily accessible in case of an emergency. To discourage an intruder, plant thorny hostile plants along fences and near windows. A good fence should not block visibility. Use a heavy duty strike plate secured with number 12 gauge three-inch wood screws. All exit doors with outside hinges should have their hinges pinned. Install a peephole with at least a -degree viewing area. 180 Secure all sliding glass doors with an anti-lifting device and a secondary locking device. Do not leave ladders or tools outside, they can assist a person in gaining entry. Gates on fenced yards should be locked with good quality padlocks. Install large reflective numbers (minimum 3 inches) on your house and mailbox so police and other emergency personnel can find your home quickly. Put a warning sign on windows and entrances. Acknowledge all callers through locked doors. Keep doors, windows and garage doors closed and locked even when at home. Before moving into a new house or apartment, re-key or change the locks on all exterior doors, also change the code to your garage door opener. Draw all curtains or shades at night to prevent viewing from the street. Never leave a house key in an obvious place such as a mailbox, under plants or a doormat. It’s Time to Think Outside the Trash Box When It Comes to What We Waste. do Before throwing away an item you think is broken, worn out, or is no longer wanted, ask yourself these questions: something good Can it be reused? Is it repairable? Is it recyclable?
