Find Safety Tips For Your Ithaca Home And Neighborhood
You may be surprised to discover there’s a higher concentration of criminal activity in your community than you thought. Luckily, there are ways you can better secure your home and keep intruders away from your Ithaca neighborhood. Consider the following suggestions:
- Get acquainted with your neighbors: Connect with nearby families and watch out for each other. Many Ithaca neighborhoods have launched official neighborhood watch organizations.
- Get a security system: Whenever a prowler trips an alarm, it will discourage them from lurking around your neighborhood. Exterior security cameras are among the strongest deterrents, as criminals want to avoid being captured on camera.
- Keep valuables out of your vehicle. Leaving your purse, keys, or laptop in your parked vehicle can lead to a break-in. Whenever possible, take valuables indoors or tuck them away beneath a seat or in the trunk.
- Add motion-activated lights: Light keeps prowlers at bay. By installing motion-sensing lights over the garage or a back entryway, you can stop an intrusion before it begins.
- Let people know when you leave town: Let a trusted neighbor know when you’re out of town and give them a key or door lock code in case of an emergency. Keep your travel plans off Facebook and other social platforms.
