We Would Like To Help Some Important Neighbors

We thought about this for quite awhile. School bells are ringing and many educators are back in full swing. First responders are always on-call and we just couldn't thank you enough for all you do. It may seem hard for so believe, but you do lead normal All-American lives and have families to provide for and love on. So to help protect the homes you leave behind daily, it just seemed right to rollout this latest Hawk Home Protection Promotion!

Hawk Protects Our Military

Here's a one-of-a-kind promotion! We would like to extend our thanks and protection to the homes of our active military, veterans and first responders who protect ours!

Holiday Pet Safety

It's simple to overlook, but our pets can be in a world of hurt for a myriad of reasons this season. This is a very interesting set of tips I found in my email this morning. Thanks Lisa H.!

Convicted Burglar Tells All

I was glued to this series of videos that has recently been posted by the Allen, TX Police Department. This is a convicted career home burglar that has revealed so much of what he looks for while "casing" neighborhoods and homes. In particular revealing what may not be so obvious to most people, no matter what extra steps they have taken to secure their homes. One thing for certain that has stood out is how obsolete alarm systems that are connected to landlines are. I've been in this business for a long time and I'm feeling very good that I have already taken that measure in my security alarm sales to not even apply the old dial up option. You'll see what I mean when you check this out.  https://youtu.be/TeiIi8EHEAo?list=PLFXqLhtIWygmP7tL3bl3073WuYPHu1xOD

Grinch Alert! Using Doorstep Package Common Sense

They don't fit your usual description of home burglars, yet there are many Grinches with a lot of time on their hands this holiday season.

Be it a common theft or something spawned from a dare, the bottom line is there is a threat that the gift you ordered online won't make it under the tree this year. But there are steps that you can take to minimize the potential of arriving to an un-merry Christmas.

If you are ordering online, and don't expect to be home when your package arrives, you can of course designate a neighbor to accept your package. However, your neighbors have a life of their own and it may be asking too much to have them to be responsible to tie down at an undetermined time. (Ever waited for a delivery yourself?) Especially as we get deeper into the hectic season. Instead, consider having your order dropped off at a nearby UPS or FedEx store or USPS station. Many of these locations will hold your package for you to pick up for up to 5 days free of charge. (check them for details.) As well, you can track your delivery status and be notified when your package arrives via email or an app notification.

A GoHawk Smart Automation system with a Hawkeye Interactive camera focused on your doorstep is a proactive way of determining if you have anyone lurking past your trespassing line. Contact me for more details. 

May you and all you hold dear have a joyous holiday season!

Become Tech Savvy, The Criminals Are

Interactive mobility is quite a convenience! I find it useful as a daily tool from GPS, messaging or reading emails on the fly. Virtually everyone has a smart device in their hand, and therefore lies a new problem in the hands of an unseemly individual with this technology.

Have you ever been to Google Maps to see your own home from a satellite view or the street view portal? Give it a shot, but this time look at it with eyes of someone that wants to break into your home.

I've captured some examples of a random typical median income North Texas neighborhood. See for yourself if the new "prowling" is like a shopping trip through an online website.

Here is a view of three homes. In your opinion what home would be your target for a break-in? Why? What way would you find is the easiest way to enter and how would you accomplish your crime without being detected?

Here is a view from the opposite end of the street. 

A view of homes across the street.

Now a satellite view of the same neighborhood with a view of front and back of all homes including adjacent homes on the next streets over. 

Have you found soft spots that can help you identify building a better security plan for you and your neighbors. Remember it's all about common sense, the best security system that you possess!
