Crime Prevention
Making some easy and cost-effective changes to your property can increase safety and deter criminals. Take the following simple actions to prevent crime on your property:
- lock your doors and windows, even when you are home
- install exterior motion lights around doors and windows
- get a safety deposit box for storage of important or irreplaceable documents
- consider installing a home and/or auto alarm system
- do not leave keys, garage door openers, change or other valuables in your vehicle
- close the gate to your home when you leave your property, as well as when you are at home
- if you are away from home in the winter, have someone drive in and out of your driveway in the snow so tracks are visible
- if you are away from home in the spring or summer, have someone maintain your lawn
- do not post on social media sites that you are away from home
