Secure September is the perfect time for Australians to focus on enhancing their security measures both at home and at work. Strengthen your home security with some ‘Home Crimprovement’ this September: Move your wheelie bins to a secure location, not against the house. Intruders often climb onto bins to help enter windows or get over fences. Lock your gates – both front and back with a solid padlock. Lock your garden shed and garage – don’t let your tools be one of the tools a crim uses to break into your home. Install security screens to protect from unwanted intruders. Install cameras to deter criminals and monitor your home. Adding sensor lights can light up dark areas at night and deter intruders from entering your home. Download your easy Action Plan here.
