Take care of the safety of your home. Police advise on how to avoid burglary

Be a good neighbor - react when something bothers you! Close the door to the staircase and notice who you open to when the intercom rings. Also warn your friends and talk about what you can do to effectively discourage criminals from acting.

How can I prevent burglary into my house or apartment?

In connection with the reported burglaries and thefts in the city, the policemen have previously called for vigilance to the residents and to react when something disturbing happens in the immediate vicinity. Let us remember that only by joint efforts can we effectively discourage criminals.

Although, due to the increase in this type of crime, additional tasks have been commissioned, and additional patrols are sent to burglary-threatened areas, remember that there is no certainty that the criminals will not appear elsewhere or change the way they operate.

Therefore, it is important not to lose vigilance and think in advance about how to effectively hinder their "work". The policemen once again advise how to do it. They encourage you to read the guide and talk about it with your relatives or friends.

Think about technical security

If you live in a single-family house:

Before you open the door to a stranger:

If you are afraid of a stranger, don't let him in, not everyone who knocks on your door is honestly intentioned!

When leaving home:

Meet your neighbor:

Well-informed and organized neighbors can successfully oppose burglary, theft, robbery and hooliganism. Talk to your neighbor about safety in your place of residence, determine how to remain "neighborly vigilance":

When leaving the apartment for a long time (vacation, hospital stay), leave the keys to the apartment with a friend you know and ask for:

All this will create the impression that someone is constantly in the apartment.

Don't risk unnecessarily:

There are no anti-burglary and alarm systems that guarantee 100% protection of your property against thieves. Parallel to securing the apartment with locks, alarms, double doors, etc., do not forget to insure it with an insurance company in order to compensate for losses in the event of a burglary.
