Crime is continuously on the rise, and this means you want to do all you can to be flexible enough to continue making changes to the way you do things both at home and away from home, so you can decrease the likeliness of becoming a victim. The information here will prove to be a great place for you to start, as it will give you plenty of pointers on ways you can improve on both personal safety and home security.
Be careful with your car – Always be careful with your car, both when you are in it and when you aren't. Always lock your doors while you are driving if you are concerned about the neighborhood or anyone you see approaching the car; roll up the windows as well. Never leave valuables or your personal belongings, such as your purse, wallet, driver's license, or other items of this nature in your car, even if you have it parked in the garage at home.
Make your home visible – You don't want there to be any area around your home where someone would feel comfortable hiding while they work on breaking in or even overpowering you or another household member upon your arrival. This may mean thinning out some of the brush around your yard or possibly even removing some bushes if you have an abundance of full ones. Keep them trimmed down, and stay on top of trimming low hanging, full trees.
Work closely with a locksmith – Keep in mind that a locksmith is a great go-to person for learning how your current locks are going to stand up against possible intruders. They can also give you a great deal of advice on home security in general and change out any locks that don't measure up. They can even install a heavy duty safe for you or maintain the one you currently have in your home.
Have a protection system installed – You should have a security system installed, as well as a fire suppression system. The alarm system is a deterrent, as well as something to help alert you and the authorities to problems. If it has cameras, it even helps record for prosecution and to increase the chances of getting some of your stolen goods back. A fire system will warn you to a fire, giving you extra time to get out of the house and get everyone to a safe spot while help is also beckoned.
