We all need safety and peace while in our homes, which is one of the reasons to consider putting in some safety measures to prevent home invaders.
In most cases, criminals will have their survey done on a target home as they develop a plan of attack. Some of them will attempt to gain access to your home through deception pretending to be selling something when in fact, they are looking for weak points in your home’s security.
For example, not too long ago in Atlanta, a man came wearing a bullet proof vest with a gun and basically walked right into a person’s house. The cloths had words like POLICE and SHERIFF so the residents found it very hard not to open the door for him. Fortunately the man fled when one owner released his dog from the back yard. The intruder was caught on
residential security cameras, running off the property with two other men who were clearly “not” working for the police.
The reality is, Home invasions happen, and in more cases than not, its due to the home owners guard being down. Opening a door when we hear a knock is something that most of us are used to doing, especially during the day. This is how many home invasions begin because most people don’t believe that a crime can happen during broad daylight. Other times they may come as service providers and when you open the door they enter and handcuff you. Criminals attempt to exploit our routine and daily behaviours in order to strike.
You should always be a little suspicious when someone knocks at your door. Ensure your doors have a magnifying peep holes to help you look at the person knocking on the other side, or Install Wireless Security Camera Systems to ensure that visitors are recorded. As well, If a criminal sees a sign cctv camera, they know the video will probably be forwarded to the police.
You can handle any type of crime only when you choose to take your safety seriously. There is nothing you can’t handle if you are fully prepared.
