Keeping your home safe this holiday season
Below are some tips for keeping your home safe this season, courtesy of the Kyle Police Department:
- Call KPD for a vacation home watch while you're out of town.
- Arrange for delivered packages to be picked up by a trusted friend or family member or have packages delivered to your work address.
- Consider not putting Christmas gifts under the tree for anyone to see through open windows/curtains.
- Keep garage and shed doors closed and locked even when you're home.
- Consider installing an internet-connected doorbell monitor that allows you to talk with people at your door and record activity.
- Identify anyone at the door before opening, including delivery company personnel.
- Don't place empty boxes (i.e., large screen TVs, game machines, etc.) out for trash pick up.
