If you check the national crime news or local news in your own city, you will see that there is no slow down at all in the number of violent home invasions that are happening each and every day.

As we approach the holiday season the tendency is to see home burglary crimes rise dramatically.  It doesn’t help that at this time - right before the holidays - our economy is still floundering.  So many people are out of work, some are losing their jobs, many can’t find jobs, and a lot of folks are turning to crime in an effort to survive. 

What does all of this mean for you?  I suppose if you listen to some law enforcement officials they will tell you the majority of home invasion victims have some association with their attackers.   Here’s what Sgt. George Grosso, Palm Beach County Violent Crimes division said, "Most of our home invasions are drug-related — they know where they can get the drugs or the money.  The majority of victims have some association with their attackers."

That may not always be the case though. Whatever the case, it is up to each and everyone of us to protect our home and family to the best of our abilities.  We simply can’t rely upon police or sheriff authorities to help save us.  We have to take the responsibility to protect ourselves, our home, and our family.  We just have to DO IT!!  Making sure your home is well-protected should be the first priority.  If you don’t already have a home security system, my recommendation is to install a system and get started on your basic home security plan.

That’s exactly what smoke detectors can do - alert you and family members to the danger.  Plus, if your smoke detectors are connected to the security system - the appropriate authorities can get the fire trucks to your home immediately.  Many lives are lost each year due to home fires.  Some of the causes could have been prevented and lives saved had they followed a fire safety plan. 

Your Home Security Protection Plan

Part of an overall home security protection plan is having smoke detectors installed throughout the home.  When I did a security review for a homeowner, I always included smoke detectors on each level – especially in the hallways outside bedroom areas.  Almost 95% of the time customers elected to protect their homes with 24-hour monitored smoke detectors.  These smoke detectors are connected to a security system with a loud inside alarm.  In the event of a fire immediate notification is sent to a 24-hour central monitoring facility so they can dispatch the fire department right away.

The 24-hour monitoring can help save lives and reduce the fire damage to your home.  Your insurance company values this coverage and considers it a big advantage in reducing major losses.  Therefore, they tend to give homeowners a reduction in their insurance premiums.  Be sure to let your insurance company know you have this protection so you can receive any discounts they offer.

10 Important Fire Safety Tips

1.  Crawl low under smoke to your exit.  If you have to escape a fire through smoke, crawl low, keeping your head 12 to 24 inches (30 to 60 centimeters) above the floor where the air is cleaner.

2.  Plan your escape.  Make a home escape plan and hold regular fire drills so everyone in your household knows what to do in a fire emergency.  When escaping a fire, feel the cracks around doors with the back of your hand before opening them.  If they are warm, try another escape route.  If bedrooms are on the second floor, invest in a fire escape ladder.  Keep it readily available and know how it works.

3.  Install smoke alarms.  Install smoke alarms on every floor of your home, inside and outside of the bedrooms.  Test them once a month, and replace their batteries once a year.

4.  Be careful with smoking materials.  Never smoke in bed or when you’re drowsy or have been drinking or taking medication.

5.  Install an automatic home fire sprinkler system.  Automatic fire sprinkler systems control or extinguish fires in less time than it takes for the fire department to arrive. 

6.  Use electricity safely.  Replace damaged electrical cords and repair appliances that smell, smoke, or overheat.

7.  Cook safely.  Never leave cooking unattended and keeping cooking areas clean and uncluttered.

8.  Space heaters need space.  Keep portable and space heaters at least three feet (one meter) from anything that can burn.

9.  Keep matches and lighters out of sight.  Keep matches and lighters away from children – stored up high in a locked cabinet.

10. Stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch fire.  If your clothing catches fire, stop – don’t run.  Drop to the ground.  And roll over and over to smother the flames.  Cool the burn and call for help

Many people burn candles throughout their home and this can be a vulnerable fire hazard.  Make sure there are no items around your candles that could cause a fire and be sure to extinguish the candles before leaving your home or going to bed.

Be sure you have a portable fire extinguisher that is fully charged.  Depending upon the size your home, you may need more than one.  Also have your heating system serviced professionally at least once a year and have your chimney inspected or cleaned regularly – depending upon how frequently you use it in the winter.

Make sure everyone in your family knows the Fire Escape Plan, what to do in the event of a fire, and where to meet outside should there be a fire in your home.

Invest in battery operated smoke detectors that can be placed in bedrooms, bedroom hallways, basement, and on each level.  Also be sure to invest in a home security system that protects your family from both burglary and fire.  Whatever price you pay will be well worth the cost it if your home is saved from this type of damage.

Because home burglary/home invasion robberies have become so prevalent in communities across the country, providing home security awareness and education on how to prevent this type of crime from happening was very important to me.  

In the interim I put together a Free Report that can be downloaded entitled "Home Invasion Prevention..Learn Why Home Invasion Robbieres & Home Burglaries Are Becoming More and More Prevalent In Our Society."  To get a copy of your Free Report Click Here and fill in your name and email address so you can get the downloadable link.

Homeowners, condo owners, and apartment dwellers need to make their home and family security a No.1 priority.  Each day individuals are losing their jobs, there is more unemployment (with fewer options of finding another a job),  and more people are turning to home burglary/home invasion robbery crimes. 

As homeowners, having a security plan of action and being better prepared with our overall home protection can help us prevent and avoid this crime from happening to our home and family.

There are criminals waiting to catch people who are not paying attention — those who have let their guard down — and attack at the opportune time!  Remember to stay aware, stay alert, so you stay alive!

Today, citizens have a lot to be conerned about and certainly to stay aware of -a crazy economy, job losses, home burglaries/home invasion robbery crimes that are increasing and personal attacks on the rise.  Something as simple as going to the grocery store, the local Target store, or just getting out of your car in front of your apartment, you need to be more alert and aware of things that are going on around you.  You never know when there could be someone waiting in the parking lot to carjack your vehicle or worse yet, abduct you!!! (Click Here - See recent article on two teens carjacked and thrown in the trunk of their vehicle).

Make your personal safety and security a habit, especially when you are away from home and by yourself.  I have included a personal protection device - the 4 In 1 Emergency Tool - that you may want to keep in your car’s front seat area as well as one in the trunk.  The cost is small when you compare the value this tool can provide in helping you survive an emergency or even a carjacking if you are stuffed into the trunk of your vehicle.

Watch this short video and learn how to avoid being a carjacking victim.  They seem so common-sense yet people who become victims of this crime don’t always follow these tips.  Listen and learn!!  (Video Courtesy of eHowauto).

It Can Happen Anywhere And To Anyone

• Though carjackings can occur anytime, a sizeable share appear to take place during the late night hours.
• Carjacking isn’t just a problem in large cities – it happens in suburbs, small towns, and rural areas.
• Carjackers look for opportunity.  They don’t choose victims by sex, race, or age.

What Do Carjackers Look For And What Should You Do To Avoid Being A Victim?

Areas that carjackers target are:  intersections controlled by traffic lights or stops lights, parking garages, shopping malls, grocery stores, gas stations, car washes, ATM machines, residential driveways or apartment parking lots, highway exits, and entry ramps.

First and foremost make sure you lock your doors as soon as you enter your car and make sure the windows are all rolled up.  Don’t make it easy for the carjacker to gain access into your car.

1.  Be alert to your surroundings, even when you feel rushed.  When approaching your car, have your keys in your hand, and check the back seat before you get in.
2.  If someone is loitering near your unoccupied car as you approach it, keep walking until the person leaves.
3.  Be wary of people asking for directions or handing out flyers.  Trust your instincts – if something makes you feel uneasy, get into your car quickly, lock the doors and drive away.
4.  Avoid driving alone.  Have someone with you especially at night.
5.  When you come to a stop, leave enough space to maneuver around other cars.  In extreme situations you might even consider going through a traffic light, as long as you can do so without causing an accident.
6.  Don’t stop to assist a stranger whose car has broken down.  Instead, drive to the nearest phone or use your cell phone to call the police for help.
7.  If you are driving home and notice someone you don’t recognize loitering, drive around the block and come back after the person has left.
8.  Avoid parking near anything that limits your visibility.

Most importantly – If a carjacker threatens you with a gun or other weapon, give up your car!  Don’t’ argue.  Your life is worth far more than a car!

If someone takes your car, get away from the area as quickly as you can.  Try to remember what the carjacker looked like and report the crime immediately to the police.

Consider carrying some type of personal protection on your keychain like pepper spray or mace spray, or even a stun gun or TASER C2.  Check out all your personal protection products at www.thepersonalsecuritystore.com.

As mentioned in many of my articles, taking a self-defense or safety awareness training class can teach you how to protect and defend yourself against criminal attacks.  Check with your local law enforcement to see if they have self-defense training classes available.

He immediately called the police for backup while he held the intruder at gunpoint.  One thing - grandpa forgot his pants!  He was stark naked.  But who cares - he’s 91, a WWII vet who probably served his country well, and survived a criminal burglary.  Naked or clothed - I like his attitude on crime control!

Dog + Gun + Security System = Priceless Home Protection!!

Here’s story and what the naked 91-year old went through Courtesy of Palm Beach Post.com:

LAKE WORTH — A burglar early this morning clambered over a backyard fence on a quiet block on the city’s west side. He picked the wrong house.

He made it maybe a couple of steps before Rettt the dog, a mixture of Rottweiler and Doberman pinscher, charged, tearing the intruder’s shirt from his back in a growling, ferocious attack.

This gave homeowner Robert E. Thompson, 91, time to jump out of bed, grab his gun, a .38-caliber revolver loaded with hollow-point bullets, and to phone the police.

Then he went out back to let the guy know how he felt about home invaders. He raised the gun and shouted out in the darkness. He thought there might be three or four of them. He didn’t care.

"The funny part was I didn’t have any clothes on," said Thompson, a World War II veteran who was awarded a Purple Heart during combat tours in Europe. "I was standing out there with a .38 in my hand, and I was stark naked."

Already terrified of the dog, the burglar, who looked to be no older than 20, took a step toward the nude 91-year-old, and that was it for Thompson.

As I’ve said many times, dogs are an excellent early warning system.  And you can’t beat having a firearm to protect yourself with, but having a home security system would’ve blown the eardrums off the intruder, possibly alerted the neighborhood, and notified the police for help.

With the tremendous rise in home burglary/violent home invasion robbery crimes more homeowners have begun purchasing firearms in increasing numbers.  Homeowners who have never used a firearm before need to become fully trained in how to handle, store, and use a firearm.  This should be a high priority for anyone considering the purchase of a firearm.

Steven will review his course content and talk about how to safely test out shooting a gun for those with little or no firearm experience.
