Find Safety Tips For Your Columbus Neighborhood And Home
You might find there’s a higher concentration of criminal behavior in your neighborhood than you expected. Luckily, there are steps you can take to better defend your home and keep thieves away from your Columbus neighborhood. Check out these tips:
- Get acquainted with your neighbors: Get to know the people living around you and watch out for each other. Many Columbus neighborhoods have started neighborhood watch groups.
- Invest in a security system: If an intruder triggers an alarm, it will dissuade them from sneaking around your neighborhood. Exterior video cameras are one of the strongest deterrents, as criminals never want to be seen on camera.
- Don’t leave valuables in your vehicle. Leaving your laptop, keys, or purse in your parked vehicle can lead to a break-in. Whenever possible, bring expensive items inside or hide them away in the trunk or beneath a seat.
- Install motion-activated lighting: Powerful lighting keeps burglars at bay. By putting up motion-sensing lights adjacent to the garage or a back entryway, you can stop an intrusion before it begins.
- Let friends know when you leave: Let a trusted neighbor know when you leave on a trip and provide a spare key or door lock code in case of an emergency. Keep your travel plans off Facebook and other social media apps.
