Do you lock your doors at night? Of course, we all do. But do you take extra steps to ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones while in the comfort of your home?
According to F.B.I. statistics, in 2005 there were more than 1.3 million violent crimes reported. Most people believe that these crimes only happen to "other people" or to those who live in inner-cities. NOT TRUE!! Suburbs and rural areas are no longer safe havens. Neighborhoods that once never needed to lock their doors are now finding the need to add even more security. Dead bolts and outdoor security lighting have become the standard.
Ensuring your safety and the safety of your loved ones is perhaps the most important task you have. Take it seriously and with a great deal of thought, but don't take too long to initiate any needed steps.
When evaluating your home security, remember these areas:
~ lock the dooor as soon as you enter your home. Double check to ensure it's locked
~ doors should have viewers or "peep holes", dead-bolt locks, chains and alarms or alerts
~ windows should have functioning locks and alarms or alerts
~ single ladies living alone may want to consider purchasing a telephone voice changer
~ keep emergency telephone numbers listed at every phone
~ hide money or valuables in a diversion safe (not in your jewelry box!)
~ if you suspect "foul play" or your instincts cause you concern while you are away, a hidden
camera may give you answers
~ when away, notify your neighbors and ask them to collect your mail and newspapers while
you are gone
Hopefully these thoughts will help you create a more safe home for you and those you love.
