Ways to Keep Your Hammond Home And Neighborhood Safe
You might be surprised to discover there’s a higher concentration of criminal behavior in your area than you thought. Thankfully, there are ways you can better protect your home and keep thieves out of your Hammond neighborhood. Use the following suggestions:
- Become familiar with your neighbors: Get to know nearby families and watch out for one another. Many Hammond neighborhoods have begun neighborhood watches.
- Invest in a security system: If a prowler triggers an alarm, it will deter them from creeping around your neighborhood. Outdoor video cameras are one of the most effective deterrents, as criminals will take measures to avoid being seen on camera.
- Don’t leave valuables in your vehicle. Keeping your keys, purse, or computer in your parked vehicle can result in a break-in. If you can, bring valuables with you or place them out of view beneath a seat or in the trunk.
- Use motion-activated lighting: Good lighting deters thieves. By putting up motion-sensing lights over the garage or a rear door, you can prevent a burglary before it begins.
- Let people know when you’re gone: Inform a trusted neighbor when you’re going to be gone and provide a spare key or door lock code in case of an emergency. Avoid posting on Facebook and other social media apps.
