Is Your Family Safe? Home Safety Tips from the National Crime Prevention Council
Is Your Family Safe? Home Safety Tips from the National Crime Prevention Council, The National Crime Prevention Council and its icon McGruff the Crime Dog® have some tips about how families can stay safe at home:
Lock your doors and windows. Research shows that more than 60 percent of all burglaries show no sign of forced entry. Pick burglar-resistant, high-security windows.
Use automatic timers to turn on lights, radio or the television when you are not at home.
Ask a trusted neighbor to watch your home and pick up your mail and newspapers when you are out of town. You can also ask your local post office to temporarily stop your mail delivery.
Your landscaping should provide maximum visibility to and from your house. Trim shrubbery that could conceal criminal activity near doors and windows.
Install exterior lighting near porches, rear and side doorways, garage doors and all other points of entry. Outdoor lighting can eliminate hiding places and deter burglars.
