What makes a neighbourhood safe?

Long gone are the days where all the neighborhood kids played in the middle of the street each
summer night. Whether you blame it on paranoid parents or uninterested children, one thing is for
certain: many neighborhoods today are not safe due to burglaries, kidnappers, scams etc. Property
safety is at the forefront of every homeowner’s mind. A higher crime rate can also affect the feeling of
security you deserve in your home and can affect your property value.
One of the best ways to improve the neighborhood is to get the entire community involved. Set
up a neighborhood watch by contacting your neighbors and asking them to join. You can set up a
community watch group by contacting your local police authority. Most police departments can offer
advice about setting up these types of groups. Poor lighting can hide all kinds of suspicious activity. If
your street lights are inadequate, contact your homeowner’s association or local government for safer
lighting. Encourage local businesses and residents to set up motion-activated outdoor lights as well. Your
home will be less of a target if the doors and windows are in good working order and lock properly. You
might even want to install security measures such as a security alarm or other deterrents. Contact your
homeowners’ insurance provider first — you may be able to get an insurance discount by implementing
certain safety measures. If there are neighbors who cannot afford to upgrade their homes, consider
working with your community watch group to assist them. Empty buildings can often attract criminal
activity, which can then spill out into surrounding areas. Contact the building owners or local
government with your concerns. A private security service can do what local police often can’t: they can
patrol your neighborhood more frequently and respond quickly to any suspicious activity, enhancing
your property safety. If your community can fundraise together, you may be able to secure a reliable
security service.
To sum up, everyone likes to feel safe and secure at home and in their neighborhood,
protecting your family and your property isn’t easy and there’s plenty of tips and tricks you can use to
protect yourself and your family from neighborhood nuisances like break-ins, burglary and other crimes.
