Keeping Our Community Safe and Informed – Preventing Home Burglaries
Overview of Preventing Home Burglaries

- Lock all doors and windows, even when home.
- Keep bushes and trees trimmed to eliminate hiding places.
- Do not leave spare keys outside the home.
- Secure sliding doors with a dowel or security bar.
- Get to know your neighbors and report suspicious activities.

- Use timers for lights to give the appearance of someone who is home.
- Do not advertise vacations or absences on social media.
