Common Ways To Help Keep Your Street Safe And Secure

Even though misdeeds will always occur, there's a lot you can do regarding neighborhood safety. Check out these five easy guidelines to keep your community secure and inviting.

Look out for your community: The more you talk to different community members, the simpler it will be to look out for one another. Many neighborhoods in Austin have even started a coordinated neighborhood watch.

Invest in a security system: If a robber trips an alarm system, it should stop them from creeping around that same community for a while. Your outside cameras could also capture people cutting through your front yard when running from a thwarted break-in.

Keep valuables hidden in your car: Forgetting your billfold, iPad, or mobile phone in plain sight can instigate a vehicular break-in. If you can, double check you have your valuables or leave them out of sight under the seat or trunk.

Install outside motion lights: Light is an intruder’s worst fear. By putting up sensored lights over a deck or a patio doorway, you may scare off a break-in before it happens.

Alert neighbors to when you’re gone: Let a trusted neighbor know when you’re going out of town, and give them a spare key or door lock code to check-in periodically. Although, keep your vacation plans off public social media sites if at all possible.
