HOW TO PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM INTRUDERS

SAFETY AT YOUR FRONT DOOR -
1.  Never automatically open your front door.  Make sure 
you know your caller's identity before admitting him.
2.  If the person at your door is a stranger, ask for 
identification to be passed under the door.  If he is unable 
to do this, do not admit him.
3.  It is advisable to have a wide angle viewer (peep-hole) 
in the door so that you can check a person's identity 
without unlocking your door.

HOME SAFETY - 
1.  All doors in your home leading to the outside should 
have dead-bolt locks.
2.  When away at night, leave a light burning.
3.  Do not leave a key over a door or under a mat.
4.  The single lock on a garage door is inadequate to 
keep intruders from prying up the opposite side and 
crawling in.  Use a padlock.  But never leave it unlocked.  
This is an invitation to have the padlock removed so that 
a key can be made, and the lock returned to its position.  
Later, the burglar returns when no one is home and enters at 
his leisure, using "his" key.
5.  Mark your valuables and keep an accurate record of all 
your most valuable possessions.  Read "How To Protect Your

6.  When leaving on a trip:
    A.  Stop all deliveries.
    B.  Connect a light to a timer.
    C.  Notify the police and have a neighbor check your 
        home periodically.
    D.  Have someone maintain your lawn.
7.  Be a concerned neighbor.  If you see a suspicious person, 
car or situation, contact the police.

SAFETY FOR THE APARTMENT DWELLER -
1.  If you live in an apartment building with an intercom 
system to the front door, make sure the landlord keeps it in 
operating order.
2.  Never admit anyone unless you are expecting him or know him.
3.  Never admit anyone to the building who is there to see 
another tenant or to deliver something to another apartment.
4.  Anyone asking admission so that he can do some work for 
another tenant should not be admitted, but should be referred 
to the building's manager.
5.  If you see someone in your building who looks out of place 
or is acting suspiciously, contact the police.
