SAFETY TIPS

General Home Safety

  • Lock doors and windows at all times
  • Use exterior lighting to reduce dark areas
  • Close curtains or blinds at night
  • Trim foliage near walls, gates, and driveways
  • Test alarm systems regularly
  • Secure tools and ladders
  • Keep emergency numbers easily accessible
  • Maintain good relationships with neighbours

When Something Feels Wrong

If you arrive home and notice something suspicious, do not enter your home. Contact SAPS, your armed response provider, or a trusted neighbour for assistance.

Awareness Without Fear

Understanding how criminals look for opportunity helps reduce risk. Visible presence, good lighting, neighbour awareness, and simple habits are strong deterrents.
