Crime Prevention Tip

As spring break approaches, many Winnipeg residents are planning to enjoy a vacation away from home. This week, we offer a number of safety and security measures that you can take to protect your home while you are away.

  • Install a home security system – These systems can be direct linked to a monitoring service which act as a deterrent for intruders.
  • Install motion / light sensors – Ensure the light on the sensor is bright enough to draw attention to anyone attempting to enter the home.
  • Replace old entry doors and locks – Good locks are useless if your door is easily broken.
  • Purchase a fireproof safe – Before you leave, lock up any valuables that you may keep out on an everyday basis, such as jewelry or sensitive documents.
  • Relocate any hidden keys – Retrieve your hidden key and put it somewhere safe inside your home.
  • Concealing your absence – Ask a trusted person to watch the house in your absence by checking on the home daily, collecting mail and or maintaining the yard as to appear as if someone was still home. Have a neighbour park their car in your driveway for the appearance that someone it staying at the home.
  • Leave lights on – Or install timer lights that come on at different times of the day to make it appear as if someone was home. Also leaving a radio or TV on will act as a deterrent.
  • Do not post online – Never post on social media you are leaving for a vacation. Avoid posting photos, check in details or updates of your vacation while away.
  • Check all locks – Before you leave, check that each door, window and garage door are securely locked.
