At Home Security

Always lock your door, even if it is day time and you are going in and out of the home.
Do not allow strangers to enter your home. Do not open your door unless you can identify the person seeking entry.
All windows should be secured with anti-slide devices.
Secure sliding glass doors with a lock or bar, or place a piece of wood or broom handle in the track.
Move valuables so they cannot be seen from porch windows.
Never leave a house key hidden outside your home.
Fasten air conditioners units securely to the windowsill or window frame so they can't be removed from the outside.
Arrange for an unlisted telephone number.
Do not put your name on the outside of your residence mailbox and do not leave notes on outside doors.
Consider a bank safety deposit box or fire-proof safe for valuable documents and items.
