Alarm Systems
Alarm systems can significantly enhance security if installed and used correctly. The best alarm systems are those that combine both perimeter and interior detection. You will also want to make sure that if you decide to have a home security alarm system installed, you learn how to use it correctly.
Many of these false alarm calls occur due to user error, equipment failure, pets, unsecured doors, holiday decorations, spider webs and more.
You may also be required to obtain an alarm permit prior to operating your
alarm system. You can find out this information by contacting your local
police agency.

DogsDogs are a proven crime deterrent. Many dogs bark when a trespasser is detected or if trained may even forcefully protect the home. However, even if you do not own a dog there are some easy ways to give the impression that you have one - and let’s make it a big one. This impression can be achieved by posting a “Beware of Dog” sign on your property, tossing a big bone into the back yard or placing a large dog dish outdoors with the name “Killer” written on the
side.
