TIPS, TIPS, & MORE TIPS Lighting and electronic timers • Use electric timers inside your home to turn on lights, T.V. or radios during your absence. • At night or if away, lower window shades, keep lights on in at least 2 locations. • Motion detector lights are very effective in deterring crime. They also light up your driveway or entry doors when you are leaving or coming home. • Dusk to dawn lighting is a strong deterrent against criminal activity, and it constantly lights up your entry doors and possible obstacles that would otherwise be unseen. • Landscape lighting is low voltage lighting that can highlight your property line, light up your sidewalk and also light up the exterior of your windows – making your home a less attractive target to night time burglars. • Interior lighting using light timers makes a home look occupied. Good lights to leave on are bedroom and/or bathroom lights. • Radios and televisions are also good items to have on timers. If a radio playing a talk station is heard from the outside of a home, it gives the appearance that a conversation is being carried on and someone is home. Going out of town or on vacation • Do not leave messages indicating that you are out of town on your mailbox, phone or answering machine. • Suspend paper and mail deliveries when going out of town; or have a friend or neighbor pick up newspapers, mail, and flyers from your yard or door. • Call you District Police Station to place your house on vacation watch so that officers can keep an eye on your house during your absence. Protect your vehicles from vandals • Leave your vehicle parked in a well lit area. • Movable side view mirrors are best moved next to the vehicle. • Report suspicious activity in Denver at 720.913.2000 for non-emergencies, 911 for emergencies.
