Be sure to take steps to keep your home safe while you are away. Keep doors locked at all times, whether you are home or away. If you have an alarm, use it! If you need a tutorial, contact your security alarm company and have a serviceman take you through. Let your neighbors know you are away – have one of them pick up your papers, park in your lot, keep an eye out for packages or any uncommon occurrences. Use a timer to coordinate lights whether home or away. Can anyone look right into your home office or at your big screen tv? Top down blinds can be a good investment, but even the cheapest blinds to give some coverage can provide you with a deterrent for theft.
Graffiti
CHNA is organizing a new graffiti initiative in 2012 which will institute scheduled graffiti removal and stronger efforts for immediate removal by residents and businesses. If you witness an act of graffiti vandalism or observe suspicious activity, immediately report it to the Providence Police at (401) 272-3121. Tips can also be reported anonymously by calling 1-800-TAGGERS.
If your property has been tagged, please see our Graffiti Removal Guide for more information.
