Check Windows and doors are locked, even when you are at home

Considering timer switches so your home looks occupied when out

Have doorbell cameras and CCTV Installed

Checking CCTV and doorbell cameras are working and correctly positioned

Considering motion sensor lighting outside your home

Have an alarm installed

Storing valuables out of sight

Keeping car keys/house keys away from doors and windows

Looking out for your neighbours and report suspicious activity
