So here are a few questions i put out during the lecture part of class.
Do you have outside lights and are they on at night? Specifically Front and where applicable rear or side entry points? Town homes & condos also apply. Some do live there.
Sensors that turn on off with dark or light, motion sensors etc.
If a TH or Condo have you notified landlord or maintenance when there are lights out in parking lot, stairwell, anywhere on the property?
Ground floor windows?
Bushes that are deterrents for access, rose bushes, small evergreens etc
2nd story emergency exit
Fire ladder just in case
Perimeter.
Fenced, trees, bushes, well lit if nothing keep anything out
DO YOU HAVE A SAFE WORD, SAFE areas are the kids secure??
Cell Phone and flash light at bedside.
Those pita toys you're always after the kids to pick up, are one of the best natural land mines for an intruder, PITA @ 3 when you have to pee, is the downside. Where are the kids rooms in relation to your bedroom. Are they safe? Are you upstairs and the kids down? If someone were to kick the door in, do they have straight access or is there are couch, table, chairs etc impeding the way?
DO YOU Have a way to look out the back or front door w/out exposing yourself?
Do your kids answer the door or phone and say. their not home now.
Why are they answering the door or phone w/out a basic answer?
I have many more questions i ask, however lets hear your Q&A
A lot of people never consider their home a weak spot.
FWIW: Do the neighborhood weak link test.
Who knows you may be a weak link
Garage and or front doors open 24/7. We all see it, fence gates open the car windows never closed, partial when hot is ok.
Knowing your neighbors by name having a phone tree and the best.
