---Use The Peephole: Next time someone rings your doorbell check yourself and see how you answer it. Most people REFLEXIVELY open the door to see who's there. I used too. That is not such a good idea. That is exactly what home invaders are counting on. Once you open the door, it is pretty much over-an intruder can just come in.
---Motion Activated Spots: These light up any area of your yard when someone is afoot. Remember that the bad guys do not like light.
---Garage Door: I have been unable to comprehend why people leave their garage door open "only a few feet" especially in the summer. I know to "let the hot air out." Great!! How about allowing someone to fence your HOT property they just took.

---Arm Your Alarms: If you have home alarms and they are not armed when you leave the home what good are they. Don't forget to "arm the alarms."
---Neighborhood Watch: If your neighborhood does not have one, start one. It is easy and doesn't cost anything. The local police or sheriff department can help. www.usaonwatch.org is a tremendous resource that can help get one going in your neighborhood.
---Non-Lethal Self Defense Weapons: In the event of a home invasion having some pepper sprays, stun guns or even a taser located in different parts of the house can make a huge difference in the outcome of a home invasion.
---Practice For Home Invasion: I know this sounds crazy. But as a family unit if you "GET SMART AND GET A PLAN" in the event of a home invasion you will be prepared. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
If you follow these BEST PRACTICES you will be in a much stronger position to secure your home against a home burglary or home invasion.
