Ways to Keep Your Charleston Home And Neighborhood Safe
You may find there’s more criminal behavior in your community than you thought. Thankfully, there are steps you can take to better protect your home and keep intruders away from your Charleston neighborhood. Use the following recommendations:
- Get acquainted with your neighbors: Get to know the people living around you and watch out for each other. Quite a few Charleston neighborhoods have launched official neighborhood watches.
- Get a security system: If a prowler triggers an alarm, it will discourage them from sneaking around your neighborhood. Exterior video cameras are one of the strongest deterrents, as criminals never want to be captured on camera.
- Don’t leave valuables in your vehicle. Leaving your smartphone, keys, or wallet in your parked vehicle can lead to a break-in. If you can, bring valuable items indoors or tuck them away underneath a seat or in the trunk.
- Use motion-activated flood lights: Good lighting keeps lurkers away. By installing motion-sensing lights near the garage or a rear door, you can prevent a break-in before it begins.
- Let friends know when you leave town: Inform a trusted neighbor when you’re going to be gone and give them a spare key or door lock code in the event of an emergency. Don’t post travel plans on Facebook and other social media sites.
