My Personel Advice

I have gleaned vast amounts of knowledge from over 25 years of experience in attending break-ins. Homeowners will often ask about deterrents, and my advice is simple.

An alarm is one point- anti-snap locks are a point- a Ring doorbell is a point, etc. The more points- the better your protection. However, if it came down to just one, you would never be better protected than having a keen dog!
