As we approach Winter 2023, it’s important to review the security measures in place to protect your home against burglary. Here are some tips that can help secure your property:

1. Invest in a home security system: This is the most effective way to prevent burglary. Consider getting a system that has cameras, motion detectors, and door alarms.

2. Secure your doors and windows: Make sure all windows and doors in your home are locked. Install security bars on windows and use deadbolts on doors.

3. Use light timers: Leave some lights on during the night or install light timers to give the appearance that someone is always home.

4. Don’t advertise your absence: Avoid posting your vacation plans on social media or voicemail messages. Ask a trusted neighbor to collect your mail and have someone check on your home periodically.

5. Keep your yard clear: Trim bushes and trees close to your home to eliminate hiding spots for intruders.

6. Install motion sensor lights: These can startle burglars and can be a deterrent.

By following these simple tips, you can improve security inside and outside your home during Winter 2023.
