Good neighbours

What can you do to prevent crime and be a good neighbour?

Keep in touch with your neighbours. They can be your most valuable security asset.

Always lock up. Don’t leave the front door unlocked if you’re in the backyard and vice-versa.

Cut away the camouflage. Cultivate a garden but not a burglar’s paradise.

Dead lock internal doors.

Secure all windows.

Light up at night. Sensor lights are great to let you know when someone is around.

Lock garden sheds, garages and side gates.

Lock up the meter box, stopping interference with power supply and sensor/security lights. Contact your energy provider to ensure meter readers can have access.

Install burglar alarms.

Property inventory with serial numbers recorded.

Report any suspicious behaviour in your neighbourhood.
