Ways to Keep Your Roanoke Home And Neighborhood Secure
You may discover there’s more criminal activity in your community than you thought. Thankfully, there are things you can do to better secure your home and keep intruders out of your Roanoke neighborhood. Check out these suggestions:
- Get acquainted with your neighbors: Build relationships with nearby families and watch out for each other. Quite a few Roanoke neighborhoods have begun official neighborhood watch organizations.
- Install a security system: When a prowler triggers an alarm, it will deter them from creeping around your neighborhood. Outside security cameras are among the strongest deterrents, as criminals want to avoid being captured on camera.
- Keep valuables out of your car. Keeping your smartphone, keys, or purse in your parked vehicle can lead to a break-in. Whenever possible, take valuables with you or place them out of view under a seat or in the trunk.
- Use motion-activated lights: Light deters thieves. By adding motion-sensing lights over the garage or a rear door, you can stop a burglary before it starts.
- Let those you trust know when you’re gone: Let a trusted neighbor know when you’re going to be gone and supply them with a front-door key or door lock code in case of an emergency. Keep your travel plans off Facebook and other social media sites.
