Crime Prevention Tip of the Day - Burglary Prevention -- Ensure that all your windows and doors at the ground level or accessible by fire escape are secured before leaving the house or going to sleep. As the weather cools and air-conditioners and screens are being taken out of the windows, verify that the windows will close and lock. Check the locks on your doors and windows from the outside, as they would be tried by a burglar looking for security weaknesses.
