How To Keep Your Dover Home And Neighborhood Safe
You may be surprised to find out there’s a higher concentration of criminal activity in your area than you expected. Luckily, there are things you can do to better defend your home and keep thieves out of your Dover neighborhood. Check out these recommendations:
- Become familiar with your neighbors: Get to know nearby families and look out for each other. Quite a few Dover neighborhoods have launched official neighborhood watches.
- Get a security system: If a thief trips an alarm, it will dissuade them from creeping around your neighborhood. Exterior security cameras are among the strongest deterrents, as criminals don’t want to be captured on camera.
- Keep valuables out of your vehicle. Keeping your computer, keys, or purse in your parked vehicle can encourage a break-in. Whenever possible, bring valuables with you or hide them away in the trunk or beneath a seat.
- Use motion-activated lights: Light keeps prowlers away. By adding motion-activated lights over the garage or a rear door, you can halt an intrusion before it starts.
- Let those you trust know when you leave: Tell a trusted neighbor when you’re going to be gone and supply them with a spare key or smart lock PIN in the event of an emergency. Avoid posting on Facebook and other social media sites.
