Worried about security? Security expert Jeffrey Redding offers some tips.
CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / July 15, 2021 / Your home is your castle. Unfortunately, however, that doesn't mean you're completely safe even inside your home. No matter where you are, you may face considerable security threats. As such, it's important to take steps to increase security. Jeffrey Redding, a security expert based in Chicago, is going to shed light on how you can increase security at home.
"There are many dangers out there," Jeffrey Redding Chicago says, "Break-ins and gun violence are relatively common in Chicago. That said, statistically speaking, most people will never experience violent crime but still, you want to prepare for the worst."
The first step is to get a home security system. Fortunately, these days you can get a home security system that covers your windows, doors, and more for a relatively cheap price. While you may have to pay a monthly fee, the peace of mind and added security is well worth it.
Once you get the security system installed, make sure you put up signs for the system. It's also smart to put stickers and signs on your windows. Many criminals in Chicago avoid homes with security systems.
"A security system is one of the best investments you can make," Jeffrey Redding says. "In general, costs have come down quite a bit over the past several years. Also, consider a Ring doorbell or another doorbell camera system."
You also want to keep any valuables out of sight. If you've got a nice TV in your front room, for example, it's best to keep the blinds closed or to use windows with reflective glass. Many criminals like to "window-shop," peeking into homes to find valuables.
"You want to be balanced with visibility here in Chicago," Jeffrey Redding Chicago argues. "A high privacy fence might actually make your house more tempting to break into. Why? Because the fence will conceal criminals."
If you're worried about security, it's a wise idea to hire a security consultant who can examine your home and also offer tips for increasing security.
Jeffrey Redding Discusses Safe Gun Ownership in Chicago
Considering gun ownership? That's a major step, and when possible, it's better to call the police than to confront anyone with a weapon. That said, keeping a gun at home can increase security, so long as you know how to use it.
"It's smart for everyone to have at least a bit of gun safety training," Jeffrey Redding Chicago notes. "And if you own a gun, you should be well-trained and well-practiced with it. Also, make sure any gun is out of the reach of children."
Even if you don't plan to own a gun, it's still smart to understand how they work and basic safety as well. You may stumble across a gun in the public, for example. If you do encounter weapons, a bit of training and knowledge can increase safety.
