"Home is where we feel safest, but it's also where our most valuable possessions and loved ones reside," said Charles Law, spokesperson for Law Security and Investigations. "Being prepared means peace of mind. With rising burglary and robbery rates, homeowners must be proactive in securing their homes. This checklist offers practical advice that anyone can implement to significantly enhance their home security.”

Home burglaries can be traumatic experiences, leaving lasting emotional and financial scars. By releasing this comprehensive checklist, the company aims to empower homeowners to take charge of their security.

Law Security and Investigations' Residential Security Checklist

Law Security and Investigations has developed a comprehensive checklist that empowers homeowners to enhance their private home security. By following these practical tips, residents can significantly improve their home security:

Alarm System: Recent studies found burglars are drawn to homes that do not have home security systems. According to Alarms.org a home that doesn’t have a security system is 300 percent more likely to be burglarized. Other research by Security.org found less than 30 percent of homes have an effective security system installed. Consider installing a home security alarm system. There are versions that run on apps and use an internet connection and they are relatively inexpensive.

Upgrade Front Door Security: The front door is a common point of entry for burglars. 39 percent of robbers get in through an unlocked door. Never give a burglar the easy way in. Consider replacing the deadbolt strike plate with a more robust model. Reinforce the door's hinges to prevent forced entry.

Install Quality Locks: Invest in high-quality locks for all exterior doors. A deadbolt lock with a one-inch throw bolt provides added security.

Window Locks: Ensure all windows are equipped with secure locks, making it difficult for intruders to gain access.

Outdoor Lighting: 72 percent of burglars prefer a house over an apartment as their target. Well-lit exteriors deter burglars. Install motion-activated lights around the property, particularly in dimly lit areas.

Security Cameras: Invest in affordable home security cameras to monitor the home. Even dummy cameras can act as deterrents. Use signs saying “CCTV in operation” or window decals and yard signs from a security company as a deterrent.

Secure Sliding Doors and Windows: 42 percent of burglars surveyed said they broke in through an unlocked window. Lock All Entry Points. Make it a habit to check and lock all entry points before leaving home or going to bed. Sliding doors and windows are vulnerable points of entry. Use window locks, dowels, or security bars to prevent them from being easily forced open. Reinforce sliding glass doors with security film to make them more resistant to shattering.

Trim Landscaping: Trim bushes and trees near windows to eliminate hiding spots for potential intruders.

Secure Air Conditioning Units: If there are any window air conditioning units, secure them to prevent them from being removed for entry.

Mail and Package Security: Don't let mail and packages pile up when away. Ask a neighbour to collect them or use package lockers.

Social Media Caution: Avoid sharing vacation plans or posting pictures on social media while away from home, as it can signal an empty house.

Lock Gates and Fences: Ensure that gates and fences surrounding the hime or property are locked and in good condition.

Home Inventory: Create a home inventory of valuable possessions for insurance purposes.

Emergency Contacts: Keep a list of emergency contacts, including local law enforcement and neighbors, readily accessible.

Secure the Garage: Garages often contain valuable items and provide access to the rest of the house. Ensure garage doors are locked and consider adding a deadbolt to the door connecting the garage to the home.

Get to Know any Neighbors: Building a strong sense of community with neighbours can be one of the most effective security measures. Neighbours looking out for each other can quickly spot and report suspicious activity.

Law Security and Investigations understands that homeowners may have different home security needs, and these tips provide a solid foundation for creating a more secure home environment.

By following Law Security and Investigations home security checklist, Americans can significantly reduce their vulnerability to burglaries and break-ins. Taking these proactive measures not only enhances safety but also contributes to the overall security of communities throughout the country.

The company also offers customized residential security solutions tailored to individual requirements.

Jahns returns sharper, hungrier for PGT crown at Pueblo

MANILA, Philippines — Keanu Jahns returns to the Philippine Golf Tour with his game a notch sharper and his hunger for victory even greater as he shoots for an elusive win in the circuit’s final stages. The ICTSI Pueblo de Oro Championship unwraps on Oct. 12 in Cagayan de Oro, with Jahns expected to put his long, powerful game to good use on Pueblo de Oro’s open layout and finally break into this year’s PGT winner’s circle. The Fil-German also brings with him a boost in confidence from his recent campaign in the DP World Tour Qualifying, where he came within two strokes of securing one of the coveted Top 13 spots. Although he fell short in the final round in Denmark, Jahns showed he had the game to contend, staying in the hunt through the first three rounds before wavering on the last day. More importantly, the experience gave him a valuable glimpse of the level required to compete on a bigger stage. Jahns hopes to carry that experience – and the lessons gained from it – into Pueblo de Oro, where he seeks to turn another strong showing into the victory that has eluded him this season. A three-time PGT winner last year, including the season-ending Match Play Championship, Jahns has come close in five starts this year but has yet to capture a title. He has posted three Top 5 finishes, highlighted by a third-place effort at Lakewood and a fourth-place finish at Pradera Verde. He also tied for fourth in his most recent PGT appearance at Summit Point before embarking on his bid to reach the lucrative DP World Tour through a series of qualifiers. But Jahns will have plenty of formidable challengers at Pueblo de Oro, where another fiercely contested four-day battle is expected to unfold. The last several PGT legs have produced tight, drama-filled finishes, and the most recent stop in Iloilo was no exception. Jhonnel Ababa endured a tournament-long test of will and character before displaying poise in the stretch run to outmaneuver Jeffren Lumbo and snap a two-year title drought in the circuit organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. That victory gave the Apo ace added momentum heading into Pueblo de Oro, but a host of other contenders are equally motivated to claim a share of PGT glory with only three legs remaining this season, including the South Pacific and Apo legs, both set in Davao later this month. Aside from Jahns and Ababa, the field features a mix of seasoned champions and emerging contenders led by reigning Order of Merit winner Angelo Que, already a two-time champion this year, and Tony Lascuña, fresh from a pro-am tournament triumph. Former leg winners Rupert Zaragosa, Reymon Jaraula, Guido van der Valk and Lumbo are also expected to contend, along with Negros Occidental first-time champion Art Arbole. Russell Bautista, Ryan Monsalve, Jonas Magcalayo, Jeremy Tandoy and Ivan Yabut, meanwhile, are eager to test themselves against the established names and add more firepower to an already deep field. Foreign bidders Kim Tae Soo, Chonkoo Kang and Lee Song further add to the competitive mix, setting the stage for another high-quality, closely fought championship at Pueblo de Oro. TMT

No first-round bye for projected No. 13 seed Eala at Wuhan

MANILA, Philippines — Due to a smaller draw, projected No. 13 seed Alex Eala won't receive a first-round bye at the WTA 1000 Wuhan Open in China. The Filipino tennis ace will compete in the tournament -- her first Tour event after a bronze medal finish at the 20th Asian Games in Japan -- slated from October 12 to 18. Unlike most 1000 events where 96 players make up the field and the top 32 players receive first-round byes, Wuhan is limited to a 56-player draw. In this case, only the top eight get to skip the first round and start their campaign in the second. The same rule applies to the only two other 1000 events with a 56-player draw in Doha and Dubai. Thus, world No. 18 Eala won't have the bye she used to have in previous 1000 events. The 56-player draw -- comprised of 43 direct entrants, 8 qualifiers, 4 widlcards, and 1 special exemption -- is also the reason why Eala had to go through the qualifiers last year. Eala was No. 58 at the time and therefore could not get a direct entry. She lost to Moyuka Uchijima in the first round of the qualifiers last year, 4-6, 6-3, 2-6. This year, Eala is projected to be seeded five places higher than her actual ranking due to the withdrawals of five higher-ranked players. World No. 1 Elena Rybakina (foot), No. 4 and last year's champ Coco Gauff (fatigue), No. 11 Amanda Anisimova (wrist), No. 15 Victoria Mboko (knee), and No. 17 Naomi Osaka (change of schedule) pulled out of the competition. World No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka, No. 3 Jessica Pegula, No. 5 Mirra Andreeva, No. 6 Linda Noskova, No. 7 Elina Svitolina, No. 8 Karolina Muchova, No. 9 Iga Swiatek, and No. 10 Marta Kostyuk made the top eight, in that order, and will be the ones to get first-round byes. The singles draw ceremony was scheduled for Saturday at 4 p.m. After the Asian Games, Eala went to France for Paris Fashion Week on October 5. The 21-year-old also appeared in tennis great Maria Sharapova's podcast "Pretty Tough". Last Thursday, the Wuhan Open shared photos of Eala training already.
