How to Prevent A House Burglary

You should install an alarm system in your house. This system should be wired to your windows, detect smoke and odors, in be in great working condition. Educate your family and children on the importance of setting the alarm before they leave and practicing good habits for safety measures.

Invest in a watch dog. Most watch dogs can be trained to attack intruders but also double over as great family pets. The best breeds for watch dogs are German Shepherds, Rotweilers, Doberman Pinschers, or Boxers.

Consider buying a weapon like a baseball bat, tazor gun, or firearm. If you purchase a firearm, be sure to keep it out the reach of children and inform the other adults in the household where you intend on keeping it at.

Team up with your neighbors to maintain a neighborhood watch system in which neighbors alert the authorities of suspicious activity and attempted burglaries.

Post signs on your property as a deterrence to burglars. Putting a sign out front such as "Watchdog on Duty", or "Protected By Brinks Home Security" is enough to deter most people from committing unlawful entry.

Have the authorities and police on speed dial on all of your phones in your house. This will help you alert authorities as quickly as possible should there be a break-in.

Lastly, if an intruder succeeds in breaking in and is armed and dangerous, by all means cooperate with them. Do not try to intimidate them or put up a confrontation unless you are 110 percent positive that you can disarm and put them out of commission.
