Tips For Home Security Improvements
Written by admin on February 6, 2010 – 9:19 pm -There are more homes broken into during summer than any other season, according to the National Crime Prevention Council. But the experts with Consumer Reports say some key moves that don't cost a lot of money can really beef up home security. Consumer Reports says forgetting to lock the inside door and leaving valuables in plain sight make a home more of a target. Experts say many burglars kick in a door to break into a home. Consumer Reports says the door itself isn't usually the weak spot. Instead, they say the problem is that the lock strikes are held by 3/4 inch screws. They aren't long enough to go into the main beam of the building. So when you kick in the door, it just breaks away the wood. You can strengthen any exterior door by using... more

Don’t give thieves a chance to invade your house
Written by admin on December 14, 2009 – 1:12 am -Debby Abe, THE NEWS TRIBUNE Seth Little thought the valuables in his Northeast Tacoma house were safe from burglars – until two weeks ago. He has a security system that sounds an alarm if a burglar enters through exterior doors. A handsome wooden fence completely surrounds his corner house. He locks jewelry and cash in a heavy-duty, 4-foot-tall gun safe. Yet despite all of his precautions, one or more thieves slipped into his home during daylight while he and his wife, Melody, were at work Nov. 5. The burglar crawled through a window, took a camcorder with the last footage of Melody’s recently deceased father and broke into their safe, stealing the life savings of Seth’s father. His dad didn’t believe in banks. “I thought I was on... more

Home security zooms in on new technology
Written by admin on December 13, 2009 – 4:41 am -By Sheba R. Wheeler The Denver Post Homeowners anxious about crime during the gift-giving season are turning to new security technology. But these days, the latest in home security isn't as much about busting robbers as it is about knowing what's happening in your home 24/7. For years, traditional security systems called on homeowners to arm and disarm their alarms and pay $30 to $40 a month for call-center monitoring. It was really a type of homeowner's insurance, says Alison Slavin, vice president of product management with Alarm.com. When something triggered the alarm, a live operator called the house. Today's security systems go beyond that, Slavin said. Wireless communications, motion-sensitive surveillance cameras and cellphone system... more

Crime prevention tips for the suburbs
Written by admin on December 6, 2009 – 11:14 pm -Fort Bend County Crime Examiner, Katherine Williams There was a time when packing up and moving to the suburbs was the thing to do to ensure a peaceful, tranquil, crime-free environment to raise a family. Those days seem to be a thing of the past. The suburbs are no longer immune to crime. Just this past year alone, there have been numerous car burglaries, home invasions, drive-way muggings and bank robberies in Sugar Land , the city that was recently ranked fifth on the list of Safest Cities in the United States. For too long suburbanites have had their 'guards down' - such as, leaving front doors unlocked and home alarms disabled - a false sense of security. This relaxed way of living, and thinking that crime only happens to others, makes... more

Written by admin on October 19, 2009 – 1:04 am -Authorities offer tips amid rash of burglaries by Andrew Gaug Locking up a house before leaving is a good start to deterring potential thieves. But recent burglaries in St. Joseph have shown sometimes it may not be enough. Between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30, the St. Joseph Police Department reported a 19 percent increase in home burglaries over that time span in 2008, with a total of 204 burglaries — which breaks down to about three per day.
