Suggested "To Do" tips
for helping the security of your home
Buy the highest level of security that your budget
will allow.
High level security is recommended by the Police
Department and Insurance Companies.
Use quality locks leading to
your fire escape.
Turn off the telephone ringer when you are away from
home for an extended period. An unanswered telephone
signals to intruders that no one is home.
Install a 180-degree peephole so that you can inspect
your hallway without opening your door.
Ask to see the identity of someone claiming to be from
the utility or telephone company. A genuine worker will
be pleased that you asked and will give you their card.
Inspect the card carefully before allowing them to enter
your home.
Re-key any locks immediately if you lose the key.
Ask your locksmith for a valid license, he must carry one.
When in doubt, ask for advice from your locksmith or
from the Crime Prevention Officer at your local
precinct.
