Robbery Prevention at Home

 

  • Keep all doors and windows locked.  If the weather is warm and you normally leave your doors open for ventilation, lock the screen door. 

  • Keep outdoor lighting on at night. 

  • Do not advertise that you live alone. 

  • Keep landscaping trimmed and away from windows and doors to avoid providing a hiding place for the perpetrator. 

  • Do not allow strangers into your home.  If they are requesting assistance, advise them you will call the police for them. 

  • Report suspicious activity in you neighborhood to police. 

  • Advertise your security alarm system by placing signs in visible locations. 

  • If you arrive home and your door is open or things appear to be out of place DO NOT GO IN YOUR HOME. Leave and call the police immediately.

  • Write down license numbers of suspicious vehicles in your neighborhood.
