Darker Nights are drawing in

At this time of year, as it becomes darker at an earlier time, it is worth checking your home security to reduce the risk of being targeted as much as possible.

Thankfully, there are some simple techniques to help you do this. As it gets dark, it’s easier to tell when a home is unoccupied, so it makes sense to introduce some simple security measures to create the impression that someone is at home, such as the use of timing switches on lamps. “This not only helps to deceive burglars, but it also reduces the chance that your home will be targeted. 

Timer switches can ensure your lights are automatically switched on before you get home. 
 

Switching on lights before you go out is another option but remember to draw your curtains to stop people from seeing inside your property.
