MAKE YOUR HOME SAFE AND SECURE

1.  install good locks on doors and windows.  Use them!  Don't hide keys in mailboxes and planters or under doormats.  These are the first places an intruder might look.  Instead, leave an extra set of keys with a neighbor or friend.

2.  Ask for photo identification from service or delivery people before letting them in.  If you are the least bit worried, call the company to verify.

3.  Be sure your street address number is large, clear of obstruction, and well-lighted so police and other emergency personnel can find your home quickly.

4.  Consider a home alarm system that provides emergency monitoring for burglary, fire, and medical emergencies.
