5 Tips On How To Help Make Your Community Safe And Secure

If you need to stop crime, there's a lot you might do regarding neighborhood safety. Use these 5 quick ways for keeping your community both inviting and secure.

Know your community: The more you talk to people in your neighborhood, the simpler it will be to protect one another. Many neighborhoods in Richmond have even started a formal neighborhood watch.

Invest in a home security system: If a thief sets off an alarm system, it can make them think twice about creeping around that same community for a while. Your security cameras may also spot vandals running through your yard when fleeing from your neighbor's house.

Keep items away from the window in your vehicle: Storing your wallet, iPad, or mobile phone in plain sight can invite a vehicular break-in. Try to remember to double check you have expensive items or hide them out of view in a glove compartment or trunk.

Put up outside motion lights: Light keeps an intruder at bay. By hanging sensored floodlights over shadowed areas or a rear entryway, you could scare off a break-in before it begins.

Alert neighbors to when you’re out of town: Let a friend know when you’re on vacation, and leave them a front door key or door lock code to check-in periodically. Although, keep your vacation plans off Facebook if at all possible.
