A few tips for SAFETY

HOME SECURITY
Never hide an extra key under a mat, in a flower pot, orin any other easily accessible place.  Criminals know all the hiding places!

PERSONAL PROTECTION DEVICES
Whether you choose a personal alarm, pepper spray, firearm, or other device, know the laws and regulations regarding the use of these items.  Seek proper training and become thoroughly familiar with your defensive device.

AUTOMOBILE SECURITY
Beware of staged automobile accidents.  The goals of these events are 1) to steal your car while you are investigating the damages, or 2) insurance fraud.  Drive a safe distance behind the car in front of you and, if you are in a accident, stay on your car until the police arrive.

TECHNOLOGICAL SECURITY
If you use a credit or debit card to purchase items over the internet, make sure the company has a secure connection (https://).

SENIOR CITIZENS
If you are considering a residential care institution or retirement home, find our which agency is responsible for licensing and certification.  Research the institution and the staff.
