Prevention - Are You Locking Your Doors?

Prevention is the first of the Three P's of Personal Safety. This is your first layer of defense. When you employ preventive measures, the bad guy may not even see you and leave you alone. If he does see you, a good preventive barrier will make him decide that you are not worth the trouble.

Locks are great barriers. How many of you religiously lock your doors every time you go out? That's an absolute must. Many burglaries and break-ins are committed by opportunistic bad guys. In a large number of home invasions, the bad guys just entered through an unlocked door.

But the same goes for locking your door when you are home as well. You wouldn't want to be surprised by a burglar while you were napping (if you have the chance!) or working in the back office. Make sure to keep your doors locked. The best locks in the world are no good if you don't use them!

Create a new habit today - check now to see if your doors are locked. Make it a habit to lock them when you come in as well as when you go out.
