Crime Prevention Tip For The Day (Home Safety)

Always lock your doors and windows. Before retiring for the night, walk your home and hand touch all windows and doors to ensure they are properly secured. Doors should be locked with a deadbolt. Install guards on windows that prevent them from being raised more than a few inches. Never leave a key hidden outside under the mat or in a flower pot for friends and family. Burglars look there as well.
