It’s important to be mindful of the signs and signals you deliberately or inadvertently show the public through the outdoor signs and indicators present around your home. Certain visual indications around your property can inadvertently provide information to potential burglars about the presence of specific assets, demographics, or the regular schedules in which your home is unoccupied. Conversely, other signs and indicators can act as effective deterrents against potential home invasions.

It’s essential to strike a balance when it comes to participating in and supporting your community while maintaining security and protecting important information from potential unwanted persons.

Regularly assess and update the signs, indications, and signals you present to the outside world, to ensure they align with your security goals while minimizing the risk of signaling specific persons, assets, or schedules.
