Home Security 101

Did you know that many burglars use similar break-in methods? Be in the know to stay safe.

1. Most home burglaries occur Mon-Fri, or on weekends if the homeowner is on vacation
2. Suspects may use the "knock-knock" method — knock and if there is no answer, go to the back and smash a window to gain entry
3. Typically, one or more vehicle(s) is/are involved. High-end luxury vehicles that linger should be reported.
4. Set up notifications on your devices whenever possible to be alerted of loss of connection, which can signal suspicious activity
