Find Safety Tips For Your Richmond Neighborhood And Home
You may be surprised to find out there’s more criminal behavior in your neighborhood than you anticipated. Thankfully, there are things you can do to better secure your home and keep criminals out of your Richmond neighborhood. Consider these tips:
- Become familiar with your neighbors: Get to know nearby families and look out for each other. Numerous Richmond neighborhoods have launched official neighborhood watch groups.
- Get a security system: When a prowler trips an alarm, it will discourage them from creeping around your neighborhood. Exterior video cameras are among the strongest deterrents, as criminals don’t want to be captured on camera.
- Don’t leave valuables in your vehicle. Keeping your purse, keys, or phone in your parked car can lead to a break-in. If you can, take valuable items indoors or place them out of view under a seat or in the trunk.
- Add motion-activated lights: Powerful lighting deters potential burglars. By putting up motion-activated lights near the garage or a back door, you can prevent an intrusion before it begins.
- Let those you trust know when you go out-of-town: Tell a trusted neighbor when you’re going to be gone and give them a spare key or smart lock PIN in case of an emergency. Don’t post travel plans on Facebook and other social media apps.
