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
