Common Tips On How To Help Make Your Street Safe

While no city is devoid of crime, there's a lot you can do regarding neighborhood safety. Use these few effective guidelines for keeping your community secure and inviting.

Know your community: The more you know people in your neighborhood, the simpler it will be to protect one another. Many communities in Virginia Beach have also organized a coordinated neighborhood watch.

Get a home security system: If a thief triggers a high-decibel alarm, it should stop them from casing around that same street for a while. Your outside cameras may also capture vandals cutting through your lawn when fleeing from the scene of a crime.

Keep expensive items hidden in your car: Storing your wallet, iPad, or phone in plain sight can invite a vehicular break-in. Try to remember to bring in expensive items or leave them out of view in a console compartment or trunk.

Install outside motion lighting: Light is a burglar’s worst fear. By hanging motion floodlights over shadowed areas or a back doorway, you could scare off a burglary before it starts.

Tell trusted people when you’re not home: Let a neighbor know when you’re on vacation, and leave them a spare key or door lock code to check-in periodically. Although, don’t post vacation plans to social media if at all possible.
