Home Security

Heidi LaFleche

Personal Safety

Got a rottweiler in the house? Even if you do, you might want to consult those charged with our personal protection. The Los Angeles Police Department [lapdonline.org] publishes crime-prevention tips.

The University of Oklahoma��s Police Notebook [ou.edu/oupd] has tips anyone, not just students, can use.

Neighborhood Watch

Learn how to organize a local crime-watch group at NCPC.org: Neighborhood [ncpc.org/neigh.htm].

Tell the baddies you mean business with window warning decals from the National Neighborhood Watch Institute [nnwi.org].

Rally your community for National Night Out, held each year in August and sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch [nationaltownwatch.org].

Security Systems

How burglarproof is your home? To identify the weak points, let Billy Bad Guy run you through the SecureRite.com: Home Security Evaluation [securerite.com/saag].

Before you install any bells or whistles, peruse helpful tutorials on alarm systems from Better Homes and Gardens at BHG.com: Home Security [bhg.com/homesecurity].

For a rundown of available safety equipment, see NBFAA: National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association: Home Services [alarm.org/Industry/ Home_Services/home_services.html]. Sleep tight!
