No one wants to be the victim of a crime, but unfortunately, it can happen to anyone. There are steps you can take, however, to help prevent crime and keep yourself and your family safe. Here are some tips:
- Be aware of your surroundings. This includes knowing who or what is around you, both in person and online.
- Make sure your home is secure. Keep doors and windows locked, even when you’re home, and consider installing a security system.
- Don’t advertise valuables. If everyone knows you have a new big-screen TV or expensive jewelry, you’re more likely to be a target for burglars.
- Keep your yard and entrances to your home well-lit.
- Get to know your neighbors and look out for each other.
- Keep an eye out for suspicious behavior. If you see something or someone that doesn’t seem right, trust your instincts and call the police.
By following these tips, you can help prevent yourself from becoming a victim of crime. Stay safe!
