Interior Home Security Tips
Ottawa Police (www.ottawapolice.ca)
We have collected a useful list of interior home security tips from the Ottawa Police web site. We hope you fill find these useful and provide you with peace-of-mind.- A criminal will spend very little time attempting to break into a house that has strong, durable locks.
- When moving into a newly purchased home, be sure to have locks re-keyed or replaced.
- Take care of your keys and keep duplicates to a minimum.
- Leave doors locked whenever possible.
- Lock windows when going out.
- Use Operation Identification to mark your property.
- Start and maintain an accurate household inventory of your possessions. Photographs are an excellent way of recording your property. Keep your inventory in a safe place (i.e. safety deposit box).
- Store credit cards, identification and other valuables in a safe place.
- Use a safety deposit box for seldom-used valuables (e.g. jewellery).
- Avoid leaving house and car keys available to a thief or intruder.
- Do not leave purses or valuables in view of persons at your door.
- Insist on seeing identification from sales and service people.
- Do not rely on a security alarm system to protect you. They should be used in addition to, not in place of, other security measures.
- Use curtains on basement and garage windows to prevent others from shopping for goods.
- Timers on radios and lights will help give the impression someone is home.
- Have adequate insurance coverage on your home and contents.
