Simple Tips for Preventing Break-Ins at Your Home
Summary
Emergencies are not the time to find out that your home isn't secure. Implementing a few straightforward strategies now can significantly reduce the risk of break-ins.

You've been living comfortably in your home for years without incident. But on a seemingly quiet night, you hear an unusual noise like someone jiggling a doorknob. Is someone trying to break in? Are the kids safe? Where did you leave your phone? It's 3 a.m., and you have no security system. Your mind races as you think of how to protect your family and find an escape route.
This scenario happens far too often, and the middle of a potential crisis is the worst time to realize you need more security. Now is the perfect time to prepare, while everything is calm. Whether or not you have a home alarm system, these simple tips can enhance your safety.
Keep Outdoor Lights On
Using outdoor lights only when you leave the house can inadvertently signal to burglars that you’re away. Instead, make it a habit to turn on porch and other outdoor lights every night, whether you're home or not. This approach serves two purposes: it lights up dark areas that might conceal intruders, and it eliminates the signals that indicate you're not home. While alarm systems are crucial during emergencies, prevention is your first line of defense.
Clear Window and Door Areas
Providing good cover for burglars with overgrown bushes or other obstructions can make your home an attractive target. Trim shrubs and trees near windows, and avoid placing tall objects around doorways. By eliminating hiding spots, you make it harder for burglars to approach your home undetected.
Make Break-Ins a Hassle
Burglars seek easy targets. If they perceive your home as difficult to break into or risky due to security measures, they will likely move on. If you have a home alarm system, prominently display the signs and window stickers. This is a simple yet effective deterrent recommended by law enforcement.
Consider installing motion detector lights and using security pins for sliding doors and windows. Double-paned windows are another strong deterrent, as they are harder and noisier to break, prompting burglars to search for easier targets.
Additionally, walk around your home with the mindset of a burglar. Identify any vulnerabilities and address them immediately. By taking these proactive steps, you can significantly reduce the chances of a break-in.
