The Best Burglary Prevention Tools

Secure doors and windows

You can secure your doors in various ways. Think, for example, of security locks, a security strip, a window stand holder and an additional lock. For securing windows there are barrier bars, thieves claws, window frames and attachment locks.

Install a burglar alarm

A burglar alarm system is an electronic security system (if required wireless) that detects the presence of an intruder and then gives a signal. This can be an on-site alarm or a silent alarm alerting you or a special service remotely.

Borg-certified control room

If you opt for an alarm system with a report to an emergency center, then preferably opt for a Borg-certified control room. The advantage of this is that you can then pass on the report to the police. In addition, you may be eligible for a discount on the household allowance. 

Register and mark your belongings 

In the unlikely event that you are burgled with you, it helps if your valuable items are registered or marked. If the loot is found elsewhere, you can easily identify your belongings and the police can return the goods to your home.

Are you entitled to a subsidy? 

A number of municipalities are aware that there is a subsidy scheme for preventive measures. These are the municipalities of Almere, Amstelveen, Schiedam, Tilburg, Utrecht, Voorschoten and Zoetermeer. Is your municipality not listed? In that case, inquire with your local authority about possible subsidy options.

Join hands with neighborhood prevention

With neighborhood prevention, residents and police join forces to combat crime. That means keeping your eyes and ears open in your own interest and that of your immediate environment. Details, problems and situations that go wrong are signaled and passed on to the right authority. Would you like to know more about the topic of neighborhood prevention?
