Having plans to renovate
your home? Before that, you should bear in mind some considerations
on physical security in securing your home against break-ins.
After all, a home is where you and your love ones live and where
you keep your possessions. Any renovation plan should include
crime prevention measures for physical protection.
Imagine the loss and damage should a break-in happen to you,
in addition to the hassle and inconvenience. So make it difficult
for house-breakers to strike. In incorporating physical security
measures to your renovation plans, you would not be giving criminals
any opportunity to strike. We recommend some security measures
you could adopt to protect your home as follows: |
 |
| |
|
 |
Physical Protection |
| |
|
| - |
Main doors should be of solid construction and
fitted with a good quality mortise lock with dead
bolting feature (where a key is needed to lock and
unlock the door). |
| - |
Reinforce all doors with iron grille gates together
with metal clasp and a close-shackle padlock. |
| - |
Fix door viewer, a latch chain and surface latches
on all the main doors. |
| - |
Install iron grilles with good quality key-operated
locks for all windows. |
| - |
Install a good burglar alarm. |

Crime Risk Survey |
| |
If you want a Crime Risk Survey to be conducted for your
home, please contact our Crime Prevention Officer (CPO) at
your local police station. Our CPO will inspect your home
and give you advice on the security features of your homes
and suggest ways they can be improved. The service is provided
free-of-charge.
