Apartments, Townhouses and other Gated Communities

 Apartments, Townhouses and other Gated Communities require additional strategies for home security.

  • Do not put your salutation (Miss, Mr., Mrs., Dr. etc...) on intercom panels or mailboxes
  • Remove labels from doors that identify common areas
  • Request that windows be installed on doors leading to common areas such as stairways, parking lot or garage, laundry room etc...
  • Do not admit anyone you don't know to your building or complex
  • When entering or leaving the parking garage or complex gate, watch the gate close completely before driving off
  • Be involved in your complex or building - get to know the other residents so you know who belongs
