![Page 102: Neighborhood Watch: Toolkit Training Presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102504/545233e7af7959dd1f8b5800/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Describe Quickly and Accurately
A quick and accurate description of events, vehicles, and persons can make
all the difference in apprehending a potential criminal. Any type of activity or
circumstance that seems unusual should be reported.
![Page 103: Neighborhood Watch: Toolkit Training Presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102504/545233e7af7959dd1f8b5800/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Remember
Community members are the extra “eyes and ears” of law enforcement.
They should only report to law enforcement any suspicious activities which they observe.
Citizens should not attempt to take enforcement action.

![Page 113: Neighborhood Watch: Toolkit Training Presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102504/545233e7af7959dd1f8b5800/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Reaching a Target
![Page 114: Neighborhood Watch: Toolkit Training Presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102504/545233e7af7959dd1f8b5800/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
Statistics on Home Burglaries• According to crime reports compiled
by the FBI, one burglary will be committed in the U.S. in the time it takes you to read this sentence.
• One out of six homes will be burglarized this year, with an average loss of $1,280.
• In more than 85 percent of household crimes, the stolen property is not recovered.
![Page 115: Neighborhood Watch: Toolkit Training Presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102504/545233e7af7959dd1f8b5800/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
Assessing the ThreatThe homeowner must determine what kind of threat he is trying to
protect against.
Defending against personal threats, such as assault, requires different measures than defending
against burglary.
![Page 116: Neighborhood Watch: Toolkit Training Presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102504/545233e7af7959dd1f8b5800/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)

Doors
• All exterior doors should be metal or solid wood and have strong door hinges on the inside of the door with hidden or non-removable pins.
• Install good quality deadbolt locks on all exterior doors and any doors from attached garages.
![Page 119: Neighborhood Watch: Toolkit Training Presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102504/545233e7af7959dd1f8b5800/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
Locks• Install strong, reliable deadbolt locks
that extend at least one inch when in the locked position.
• Consider double cylinder deadbolts (key inside and outside) or deadbolts with reinforced strike plates and extra long mounting screws to anchor the lock.

Lighting
A well-lighted house can expose individuals attempting to conceal
themselves and commit criminal acts.
![Page 122: Neighborhood Watch: Toolkit Training Presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102504/545233e7af7959dd1f8b5800/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
• Direct visitor access by utilizing fences, walkways and shrubs.
• Plant thorny bushes around windowsto make illegal entry more difficult.
• Trim shrubs and trees that could conceal criminals.
• Cut back tree limbs that might allow thieves to climb into windows.
• Use landscaping to provide maximum visibility to and from the house.
![Page 124: Neighborhood Watch: Toolkit Training Presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102504/545233e7af7959dd1f8b5800/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
Alarms
• Install a security alarm system with an audible alarm and/or flashing lights. This will attract the attention of neighbors.
• Post alarm signs on the property, stickers on the windows and, most important, use the alarm!
• Make sure your alarm is monitored 24 hours a day.
• Place detectors on all entrances and exits. Motion sensors in priority areas can be beneficial.
![Page 125: Neighborhood Watch: Toolkit Training Presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102504/545233e7af7959dd1f8b5800/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
Garages• Always lock the door to an attached
garage.
• When at home, always park your cars in the garage with the garage door shut.
• Install automatic openers that will allow you to stay in your car until safely parked in the garage.
![Page 126: Neighborhood Watch: Toolkit Training Presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102504/545233e7af7959dd1f8b5800/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
Property List• Make a list of your property
– Keep a list of your CDs, DVDs, videos and any other collectible items in a safe place (a list on your computer is no good if the burglars steal the computer too!)
– Mark your property with your drivers license number using an engraving pen or ultra-violet marker.
– Take photos of expensive items such as jewelry. – Make sure you have current and adequate
insurance coverage.
