10 Security Tips to Prevent Home Invasion Robberies

-




Learn How to safely answer your door when unknown person is present, and what you must train your children to do so to avoid being a victim of a home invasion at here



If you have not heard, home invasion robberies are rampant and people are experiencing bands of deranged punks kicking in doors, terrorizing a family, stealing valuables, and sometimes taking a life. No city is immune from attack, it’s happened in the nicest neighborhoods, to the nicest people. Criminals are pretty dumb and go for the easy targets. Here are 10 things you can do to your home or business to help protect your loved ones, you’re possessions and your property:

1. Keep your windows and doors locked at all times; even when you are home.

2. Always keep your drapes or blinds drawn, even at night so they can not see inside.

3. Make sure that any window air conditioners are not easy to pull out from the outside. You can bolt them in place from the inside.

4. Trim the bushes and trees that are in front of windows so people can’t hide there.

5. Remove old, easy to open windows with secure windows that use laminated glass that is resistant to breakage. If you can’t afford them, you can install inexpensive window breakage detectors that will sound an alarm.

6. If you have a basement, install new heavy-duty windows. Older windows are easy for a criminal to enter.

7. Update your locks and deadbolts with new security hardware.

8. Replace entry doors with reinforced doors with little or no glass for maximum security, and make sure the
locks are robust also. If you can’t afford that, install inexpensive door opening alarms.

9. Replace your sliding glass patio doors with reinforced laminated glass and dual locking hardware with a dead bolt for maximum protection.

10. Get a few of those "Protected by Smith & Wesson" stickers from a gun store, or online to put on all your doors and windows to send a firm message to the punks that there could be trouble at this house, and to move along.

Self Defense For The Elderly

Self Defense For The Elderly As disturbing as it might be to the rest of us, criminals actively seek out victims who are less capable of defending themselves in an attack. Unfortunately this leaves our elderly, physically challenged and youth more vulnerable to an attack. There are ways for these members of society to protect themselves and increase the odds in their favor should they face a perpetrator intent on committing a bad act. As more and more people realize the need for personal safety devices and other forms of self defense, the likelihood of surviving an attack increases. Here we will look at a few self defense methods for the elderly which add a level of security for our elderly friends and family members. * Self defense classes- Seniors like every other age group can benefit from self defense classes. Each person is different but as a general rule we all lose strength and agility as we age. Consider classes that are specifically designed with seniors in mind as self def...

Facts on Home Security Systems

-
One thing is for sure and that is that the crime rate isn’t going to drop and in fact it is projected to only get worse. One type of crime that has truly been on the increase is property crimes and one new type of property crime to make its debut is the home invasion robbery. Prisons are overcrowded and police departments are overwhelmed, so in more and more communities it is up to each and every home owner to take measures to protect their home, family and property. Fortunately something that has also been increasing steadily along with the crime rate is the level of technology in home security systems. What started out as a simple system of window and door trip triggers that were connected to an alarm has grown into elaborate security systems that can cover your whole home in an invisible blanket of security that is monitored twenty-four hours a day. In fact home security has moved out of the home and into the yard with a thirty-five foot perimeter of protection that is monitored by ...

Why Consider a Home Security System

-
If you read the paper or watch the news now, then you are probably aware that crime patterns are changing and have been for some time. It seems that there is just no escaping it anymore and that places like small towns are no longer safe refuges from crime. Crimes such as home burglaries are on the increase and even new types of crimes such as home invasion robberies are making their appearance. You may not be aware of it but even organized gang activity has come to small town America and if you live in a small town or suburb of a city you most likely have gangs in your community now. The fact is that no matter how many police officers a department may have they can’t be everywhere at once and there really is nothing that your local police can do to thwart a determined burglar.They have to wait until they strike and then hopefully use any clues that they leave to track him or her down and thats just the way it goes. When all of the facts are laid out on the table they all point in one ...
