What do I need to know about home security?

Good home security protects your property from break-ins (burglary), theft and vandalism. Techniques for improving home security can be as simple as locking your windows or as complex as installing alarm systems.

There are also security programs in many communities. Read What safety programs are in my community? for more information.

Your local police service and other community agencies can help you with home security. To find help in your area, go to Services Near Me.
