Home Security Assessment


The club has developed a Home Security Assessment program that is available to club members at no charge.  

The assessment teams are club members who have volunteered and been trained to conduct the home security assessments.  The assessments will review:
  • Home setting & landscaping risks
  • Perimeter security regarding windows and doors
  • Special requirements on garage doors, sliding and french doors
  • Safe room & internal security requirements
  • Availability and management of Personal Defense items

At the conclusion of the security assessment, the homeowner will be presented with an Enhanced Security Report that will recommend a three tiered action program:
  • Tier I: Minimal Upgrades in cost and complexity (<$500)
  • Tier II: Modest Upgrades within the scope and capability of most homeowners ($500 - $1,000)
  • Tier III: Aggressive Upgrades involving creation of a safe room, electronics installations, and warning devices.  Beyond the scope of most homeowners & may require outside assistance.  (>$1,000)

Home Security Assessments will be conducted by a two person team and will require the home owner to accompany the team during the assessment.  The teams are equipped with a selection of the security items recommended for the homeowner to view and will provide the homeowner with a copy of the Report and several checklists to utilize to improve personal security.

Club Members will be served in the order that their appointment request is placed in the system.  Following their assessment request a team member will call to schedule a mutually convenient time for the assessment.

An appointment request form is posted on this page, above right, and a notice posted on the home page.

Note that several of the items that will be recommended in the Tier I & Tier II levels are available at member meetings at the product table.
