These crimes most common in estates 2009/05/13 The threats/issues facing residential estates tend to be house break-ins, hijackings and armed robberies. This is the view of Chubb Security, the security and fire protection provider. The house break-ins/armed robberies tend to be what is commonly known as an "inside-job" and hijackings usually take place before the victim enters the complex. Petty theft of mobile phones or clothing stolen from washing lines is another risk. These threats have steadily increased and criminals have become craftier in their ways of slipping through the main security point. Estates are now implementing more sophisticated access measures at each point within their individual estates. Chubb Security says effective security should be based on three aspects - securing the perimeter of the estate; controlling the access and exits of the estate and instituting, implementing and maintaining an effective process that keeps residents abreast of all security risks. Chubb has the following tips for the residents of these estates: - Buy the best system you can afford, cheap security is no security. - Don't regard security as a cost - a good security approach can reduce insurance premiums. - Choose a security partner that provides an advanced armed response service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. - Always choose a South African Intruder Detection Services Association (SAIDSA) approved security firm. - Create a "safe area" in your home. - Fit a wrought-iron gate or an expanding grille gate to separate the bedroom wing into which the family can retreat at night or in an emergency. - Install exterior beams around the perimeter of your property. - Don't rely on an alarm sounder only. An alarm without a response is just a noise - ensure your alarm is monitored. - Install outside lights that can be remotely controlled via a timer or the burglar alarm system. Consider installing demand lighting which is activated by a motion detector. - Keep weapons and valuables safe. Install a safe for weapons and valuables. Duplicate house keys could be kept in this safe. Note that wall safes are usually not fireproof and are not suitable for face-value documents and money. - Lock your garage and tool shed. This will prevent would-be intruders' access to any items that can be used as weapons. - Program your telephone with an emergency number before going to bed. Dial the emergency number and hang-up before the call is answered. This will give you a time advantage, as all you then need to do is press the redial button. |
