Here are some important tips to remember about home safety:
- Never allow strangers into your house – always confirm their legitimacy
- Invest and utilize a good overall security system
- Adequate lighting around the perimeter of your house acts as a good deterrent
- Trim shrubs around windows and entrances so they cannot conceal intruders
- When you leave you home at night, leave interior lights one, as well as your television or radio, so that your house looks occupied
- If living in a complex don’t open entrance/foyer doors to strangers and prevent tailgating
- Never disclose that you are home alone
- Always be alert to vehicles or persons following you into your entrance or the garage
- Educate everyone regarding these safety precautions
- Don’t leave firearms unattended
- Keep a list of emergency numbers next to the telephone
