Explore Safety Tips For Your Oakland Neighborhood And Home
You may find there’s a higher concentration of crime in your neighborhood than you thought. Luckily, there are ways you can better protect your home and keep intruders out of your Oakland neighborhood. Consider the following suggestions:
- Get acquainted with your neighbors: Build relationships with people living nearby and keep an eye out for each other. Numerous Oakland neighborhoods have started official neighborhood watches.
- Install a security system: Whenever an intruder sets off an alarm, it will deter them from lurking around your neighborhood. Exterior video cameras are one of the most powerful deterrents, as criminals don’t want to be seen on camera.
- Keep valuables out of your vehicle. Keeping your wallet, keys, or smartphone in your parked car can encourage a break-in. Whenever possible, take valuable items indoors or keep them out of view beneath a seat or in the trunk.
- Use motion-activated lights: Powerful lighting deters potential burglars. By installing motion-sensing lights near the garage or a rear door, you can stop a burglary before it begins.
- Let people know when you go out-of-town: Tell a trusted neighbor when you’re going to be gone and supply them with a spare key or smart lock code in the event of an emergency. Don’t post travel plans on Facebook and other social media sites.
