Find Safety Tips For Your Chicago Neighborhood And Home
You might discover there’s a higher level of crime in your area than you thought. Thankfully, there are ways you can better secure your home and keep intruders away from your Chicago neighborhood. Consider these recommendations:
- Get acquainted with your neighbors: Build relationships with people living nearby and look out for each other. Many Chicago neighborhoods have started neighborhood watches.
- Get a security system: Whenever a prowler sets off an alarm, it will dissuade them from lurking around your neighborhood. Exterior security cameras are among the most effective deterrents, as criminals will take measures to avoid being recorded.
- Avoid leaving valuables in your car. Leaving your purse, keys, or smartphone in your car can encourage a break-in. If possible, bring valuables indoors or place them out of view in the trunk or under a seat.
- Use motion-activated flood lights: Good lighting deters thieves. By installing motion-activated lights near the garage or a back door, you can stop an intrusion before it begins.
- Let those you trust know when you leave: Tell a trusted neighbor when you’re going to be gone and provide a spare key or door lock code for emergencies. Don’t post travel plans on Facebook and other social platforms.
