Ways to Keep Your Chico Home And Neighborhood Safe
You might be surprised to discover there’s more criminal activity in your area than you expected. Thankfully, there are ways you can better protect your home and keep intruders out of your Chico neighborhood. Use the following recommendations:
- Become familiar with your neighbors: Get to know nearby families and watch out for one another. Many Chico neighborhoods have started neighborhood watches.
- Invest in a security system: If a thief trips an alarm, it will discourage them from lurking around your neighborhood. Exterior video cameras are one of the strongest deterrents, as criminals never want to be seen on camera.
- Don’t leave valuables in your car. Keeping your laptop, keys, or purse in your vehicle can result in a break-in. If possible, bring valuables indoors or stow them out of view in the trunk or beneath a seat.
- Install motion-activated lighting: Good lighting deters prowlers. By adding motion-activated lights adjacent to the garage or a back entryway, you can halt a burglary before it begins.
- Let those you trust know when you leave town: Let a trusted neighbor know when you leave on a trip and give them a key or smart lock PIN for emergencies. Don’t post travel plans on Facebook and other social media apps.
