Part 15: A Security Survey
Many local law enforcement agencies will provide a free "walk
through" of your property. The purpose is to identify all
potential trouble spots and determine what steps can be implemented
to improve the overall security of your property. You can probably
organize a "block party" and have the police "sweep"
your entire block. Because of cost-cutting many local law enforcement
agencies are stretched to the limit and there may be a long waiting
list. Sometimes off-duty police omcers will do this kind of work
for a nominal fee. A few words of caution are in order if you
have some third party security company do a survey for you. Many
of course will do a free survey to get their foot in your door
and try and sell you their security devices. So be forewarned
that a locksmith will probably try and sell you better locks,
a alarm company a security system and so on. So use common sense.
