Is Your Home an 
Easy Target For Crime?

We never know the answer to this question unless we take a moment to look around and check.

National Secure Your Home Day is here to encourage and support you to harden your home security and reduce your risk of being a crime target.

Strategise

Target-hardening strategies make your home more difficult to access and less attractive to potential thieves.

Outsmart

Start with cost-free measures like removing items that can be used to climb into windows.

Connect

Get to know your neighbours and become a member of your local Neighbourhood Watch group.

Reflect

Consider what proactive measures you have already put in place, and what can be done in the future to strengthen your home security and the safety of your neighbourhood.
