If you are heading out of town for the holidays, you want to ensure your house is safe and sound.
Property crime increases this time of the year when people are out of town. Police encourage you to get a home security system if you can. If not, Sunrise Beach Police Chief Scott Craig says there are ways to protect your property.
“Forwarding your mail or having your neighbors check your mail for you. You can also install timers on your lights, interior and exterior. You don’t want to publicize over social media to where everybody can see that you’re going to be gone. You can also share your number and your travel plans with neighbors and ask that they check on the property often,” said Chief Craig.
Another tip is to contact local law enforcement to see if they can drive past your house occasionally to ensure everything is secure.
