Secure Your Home
• When you move into a new home, make sure you change the locks. Keep only a minimum of set of spare keys.
• Alarm systems should be used in addition to, not instead of, other security measures.
• Your house number should be well-lit and easily legible for neighbours and emergency response teams.
• Outside doors should be solid. Hinges should be indoors.
• Seal the space between the door and the frame to prevent a crowbar from prying it open.
• Install deadbolts on all outside doors and other entranceways in the garage or the basement.
• Install wide angle peepholes for outside doors.
• Placing a piece of wood or metal at the base of the doors and windows improves their security.
• Secure basement and ground floor windows, pet doors and windows where an air conditioner is installed.
• Check the references of people you employ to work inside and around your home.
• Adequately insure your home and belongings.
Indoor Security
• Keep doors and windows locked whenever possible.
• Put up curtains for garage and basement windows to avoid attracting prying looks.
• Keep credit cards, identification cards and other valuables in a safe place and store precious objects in a safe.
• Avoid leaving car keys in the house or within reach of a thief or an intruder.
• Do not leave purses, valuables or precious objects visible from your doorway.
• Ask for identification from all sales, delivery or service people who come to your home.
• Plan to purchase a home alarm system (alarm and video monitors).
Outdoor Security
• Keep tools, ladders and garbage bins locked up.
• Keep bicycles, BBQ and gardening tools in a secure area.
• Have plenty of outdoor lighting.
• Trim trees and hedges that might serve as hiding spots for intruders.
• Never leave a note on your door.
• Do not leave a set of spare keys outside - they could be found.
• Do not put up a sign with your full name outside your house. A criminal could find your name in the phonebook and call to see if you are home.
If You Go on Vacation
• Let your neighbours or close ones know your plans and where you can be reached.
• Leave a key with someone you trust so that they can watch your house while you are gone.
• Ask a neighbour to park their car in your driveway and to pick up your mail, newspaper and junk mail.
• Ask a neighbour to leave one of their garbage bags in front of your house on garbage day.
• Do not order goods likely to be delivered while you are gone and cancel all regular deliveries.
• Do not talk about your vacation plans with strangers or service people.
• Use your work address on your luggage tags. You do not want to let a potential criminal know that your house is empty.
• Secure or remove all valuables or firearms from your home.
• Make sure your house looks lived-in. Use timers to open lights and radios.
• Arrange for your grass to be mown or snow removed from your entranceway during your absence.
• If upon your return you see that the door has been opened or the window broken, do not go in! Call the police immediately!
