Explore Safety Tips For Your Evanston Home And Neighborhood
You might find there’s more criminal activity in your neighborhood than you thought. Fortunately, there are ways you can better protect your home and keep intruders out of your Evanston neighborhood. Consider these recommendations:
- Become familiar with your neighbors: Build relationships with the people living around you and look out for one another. Quite a few Evanston neighborhoods have started neighborhood watch organizations.
- Invest in a security system: Whenever a prowler triggers an alarm, it will deter them from lurking around your neighborhood. Outdoor surveillance systems are among the most effective deterrents, as criminals will take measures to avoid being captured on camera.
- Avoid leaving valuables in your vehicle. Leaving your purse, keys, or laptop in your parked car can result in a break-in. If you can, take valuable items with you or keep them out of view in the trunk or beneath a seat.
- Use motion-activated lights: Good lighting deters prowlers. By putting up motion-sensing lights adjacent to the garage or a back entryway, you can prevent a burglary before it starts.
- Let people know when you leave town: Tell a trusted neighbor when you’re out of town and give them a key or smart lock PIN in the event of an emergency. Don’t post travel plans on Facebook and other social media apps.
