Crime Prevention Tips for Home and Auto

Home Burglary Prevention Tips:

The most common threat to our home is burglary, as a burglary occurs every 15.4 seconds in the United States. Burglaries usually occur during the daytime when people are away at work or school and are often committed by young males under 25 years of age. Burglars typically look for small, expensive items that can easily be converted to cash, such as cash, jewelry, electronics, and guns.

To minimize the risk of burglary, it is important to secure all entry points to your home. This includes using high-quality locks, solid core or metal doors, and installing security devices for sliding-glass patio doors. Following these security measures can help make your home less attractive to potential burglars.
