Home, Garage & Vehicle Security Tips

• Always lock your windows and doors when you go out, even if for only a few minutes.
• If your home is equipped with an alarm, always activate it- even if you’re only going out for a short walk.
• Always keep your front and rear porch lights on from dusk to dawn and use motion detector lighting along the sides of your home or areas with little foot traffic.
• If your garage door has a remote shutoff button on the wall-mounted control, located in the garage, consider locking the door nightly. This will prevent your garage door from being opened remotely.
• Always close your garage door & keep the pedestrian door locked.
• Lock your vehicle even when you park in the garage.
• Treat your garage door opener as if it were a key to your home and remove it from your vehicle when not parking in your garage.
• Do not store car keys in or near the vehicle even when parking in your garage.
• Lock and secure all doors and windows to your vehicle every time you park.
• Remove all valuables from your vehicle even when you park inside your garage.
