Ways to Keep Your Birmingham Home And Neighborhood Safe
You may be surprised to see there’s more criminal behavior in your area than you anticipated. Fortunately, there are things you can do to better protect your home and keep criminals out of your Birmingham neighborhood. Consider these tips:
- Meet your neighbors: Build relationships with nearby families and keep an eye out for each other. Quite a few Birmingham neighborhoods have started official neighborhood watches.
- Invest in a security system: When an intruder sets off an alarm, it will deter them from creeping around your neighborhood. Exterior video cameras are one of the most powerful deterrents, as criminals don’t want to be seen on camera.
- Don’t leave valuables in your car. Leaving your wallet, keys, or smartphone in your parked car can lead to a break-in. If possible, bring expensive items with you or hide them away under a seat or in the trunk.
- Add motion-activated lights: Powerful lighting keeps lurkers away. By putting up motion-activated lights over the garage or a back entryway, you can stop a break-in before it begins.
- Let friends know when you leave: Let a trusted neighbor know when you’re going to be gone and give them a spare key or smart lock code for emergencies. Avoid posting on Facebook and other social media sites.
