This is a list of simple guidelines that may just help you realize some potentially
dangerous situations. They may just trigger a sense of awareness in you.
The Home
Alarms are the number one deterrent for burglars.
Fit Deadlocks on all doors and windows, do not leave the key in the lock but leave a key
in each room in a place well known by all family Members in case you needed to get out
in emergency.
Dogs are a big deterrent to Burglars.
Fit Security lighting at entrances to your home.
Do you have a Neighborhood watch Program in your area?
You spend a lot of time at home - Make it a safe place.
Know the natural weapons that you can use that are probably already scattered around.
Change the locks when you 1 move - you never know who may still have keys
Add Deadlocks to all doors and windows.
Keep these windows locked (Windows can be locked in a semi-open position).
Every room should have an item that can be used as a weapon.
Pens are great weapons, have one in every room.
Make sure that you know a way that you could get out of every room in the house - via a
window maybe, and what's on the other side of that window - Garage, long drop?
The kitchen is full of weapons from knives to chemicals (oven cleaner, detergents)
The bathroom can also have cleaners, perfumes, objects etc
A small toilet can also make a good safe place as you can sit and jam the door shut with
your legs, there are also chemicals - Bleach etc, toilet brushes too.
Laundry rooms also make an access way into your house, if there's a window in there
make sure that it's locked, don't leave keys in the locks (Doors or windows).
Keep the iron in the Laundry room as this can be a very effective weapon, especially
when hot.
