Protecting Your Home

By: Julian Stanton

Julian Stanton of the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) offers some useful advice for protecting your home…

· Seek out your local Police Crime Reduction Officer for impartial guidance on the best security measures to take in your home.
· Keep valuables, house and car keys away from view. Don’t tempt burglars by leaving them on display by window and doors.
· Lock all windows and doors when you are out or in the garden. Recent Home Office statistics indicate that 31% of burglaries occurred through an unlocked door and 9% through an open window.
· Ensure doors and ground floor windows have adequate locks. Garage and garden sheds should be locked with security locks and tools kept out of sight.
· Keep all side access gates locked, a padlock is often sufficient.
· Deter burglars by fitting trellis to the top of side access gates/rear fencing and grow prickly shrubs.
· Postcode your property stamping, painting, engraving or using a UV pen.
· Use a timer for your lights when you are away from home, switching lights on when it gets dark. Cancel milk/newspaper deliveries when you are on holiday.
· Consider getting an intruder alarm installed and choose an NSI NACOSS Gold or Systems Silver approved contractor to fit it. Companies with NSI approval are subject to a six-monthly inspection process ensuring that they meet the highest standards.
· Make sure your intruder alarm is effective and meets the requirements set out by your insurer if required and the police if it is a monitored alarm. Contacting an approvals body such as NSI can help you pick out a professional instead of a ‘cowboy’ installer, saving you money, ensuring you meet insurance requirements and most importantly giving you peace of mind.
