Crime Prevention Tips
Practical tips to help you avoid being the victim of property crime
(originally posted in Glastonbury Gazette)
Even the safest neighbourhoods are susceptible to “crimes of opportunity”. The unfortunate reality, is that if you leave any property unsecured (a kid’s bike, lawnmower, building supplies, etc.), vehicles unlocked, or anything of value in your vehicle, you will very likely be the victim of a property crime. Follow our website and social media for proactive tips on crime prevention, and get to know your neighbours so that you can all look out for one another. Neighbourhood Watch is about working together to prevent crime, and vigilant residents noticing and reporting suspicious activity can result in crimes being solved and prevented.
Here are some tips to reduce your vulnerability to property crimes of opportunity:

Here are some tips to reduce your vulnerability to property crimes of opportunity:
- Lock all vehicles all the time, day and night.
- Remove all valuables from vehicles parked outside, including your garage door opener
- Get motion sensor lights for your back yard. Replace your outdoor light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs and leave outdoor lights on at night.
- Lock your gates and your shed, even during the day
- Ensure you do not leave valuables unattended in your yard, such as bikes.
- Do not leave your garage door open if you are not in your garage (this includes if you are working in your yard).
- Keep your garage locked, and ensure you lock the door between your garage and your house if you have an attached garage including when you are at home.
- Secure your home with bars on basement windows, reinforced doors, an alarm system, and prominent signage to deter potential burglars.
- Video surveillance also provides a good visible deterrent.
- Never leave windows open when your home is unattended (even second story windows).
- Inside your home, take a few moments to put away valuables before leaving—even if you are just running to the grocery store for a few minutes. This includes tablets, purses and jewelry.
- If you are going away overnight or longer, ask a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your home and ensure your home has a “lived in” look while you are away.
- Follow Edmonton Neighbourhood Watch and EPS Crime Prevention on social media, and speak with your neighbours about Edmonton Neighbourhood Watch. If we want a safe community, we have a collective responsibility to each do our part to be the eyes and ears of our community.
- Keep a video inventory:
If you haven’t already done so, do a video “walk-through” inventory of your house, yard and garage and document serial numbers of all electronics and valuable items. Use an engraving pen to mark your driver’s license number on all valuables. Keep the video and list of valuables and serial numbers, as well as copies of receipts and appraisals, offsite. If you are ever the victim of a burglary or have a fire in your home, this inventory will prove invaluable.
