Crime Prevention Tip Use Plants and Trees To Your Security Advantage   • Protect and defend vulnerable areas around your home. Place a thorny plant under a window or in front of a fence. (i.e., Rosebushes or Blackberry). • Use plants to provide a clear border definition of controlled space. A two foot hedge around an unfenced yard will designate it as semi private and discourages entry. • Use the 2 foot to 6 foot Rule when pruning or trimming vegetation: No objects or vegetation should be higher than 2 feet and all tree tops should be pruned no lower than 6 feet. This provides a clear line of sight onto your property.   Always consider a plant or tree size at it's maturity: Will it interfere with visibility? Big, bushy shrubs create hiding places and block views. Will it interfere with lighting? Trees are often planted next to light poles and, at maturity; the tree blocks the light, creating a shadowy or dark area.     Like us on Facebook Did you know the Winnipeg Police Service hosts its own Facebook page?
