Keep your curtains closed at night. It is better to not let someone have the advantage of seeing into your home.
Keep valuables out of sight in your home and car. Why tempt someone at all.
Lock all doors and windows. Why make it easy for someone to break-in.
If you have an alarm, keep it on at night and when away. It is made to protect you, just use it.
Do not confront strangers! If they seem suspicious to you, contact the police.
Light up the night. Turn on all outside lights and keep them on all night. Install floodlights and lights with motion detectors in your yard.
Look out for neighbors. Watch neighbors enter their houses after walking or dropping them off.
Cut trees and bushes in your yard. Those that provide hiding places for potential criminals.
Be present outside. Walk with your neighbors and friends in the community. Vary your route and get to see new streets.
Drive around. Take a new route home. Be aware of who is around and what they are doing.
Communicate. Tell neighbors when you will be away for any extended period so any suspicious activity at your house might be noticed.
Become Involved. Get to know neighbors all across North Avondale by participating in community activities and organizations such as NANA.
