What you can do:
Review your home security and take steps to improve it:
• Install high-security strike plates with 3” screws and deadbolt locks on exterior doors. Locks should have a 1” bolt
throw, case-hardened cylinder guard, and tie screws on the inside.
• For door locks within 3 ½ feet of a window, install a double-cylinder deadbolt or reinforce the window with a grille,
polycarbonate, a security storm door, etc. (Note: City ordinance does not allow double-cylinder deadbolt locks for
multi-unit rental housing.)
• Have your mail and papers picked up; lawn mowed, and walks shoveled when you are out of town.
• Install exterior motion-detector lights that illuminate all potential entry points to your home and do not cause
shadows.
• Leave a radio on when you leave home. Use light timers, so your home looks occupied.
• Don’t open your door to anyone you don't know.
• Secure basement windows with screws, grilles, or bars.
• Secure other accessible windows with pins, keyed locks, or track fillers.
• Keep garage and home locked at all times—even when you are home or in the yard.
• Call 911 if you see suspicious activity, such as someone checking doors and windows
on a neighbor’s home.
• Keep shrubs, bushes, and hedges trimmed to a height of 3' or less.
If you have any questions about home security or would like to have a premise survey of
your home done, call Crime Prevention Specialist Carol M. Oosterhuis (612-673-2874).
