On today’s Personal Safety, Bob Boilard of Defensive Strategies, joined Lori to discuss what burglars look for to commit crimes. Bob told us ways to protect ourselves by making our homes unattractive to criminals, and cost effective tips for deterring crime. Also, the importance of not becoming complacent about security.
How to secure your doors, have good lighting, trimming shrubs, locking windows and doors and keeping a car in the driveway are all deterrents Bob told us about. Shockingly, he shared how most break-ins happen due to open doors and windows.
The conversation continued about a survey given to inmates who had committed burglaries. Bob told us how his company helps homeowners stay safe using a 13 page survey to assess and make recommendations. Finally, Bob told us what happens when our home alarm goes off. Listen in and hear more about it.
