New free home security assessment program: The assessment focuses on how a potential burglar, prowler, ex-spouse, etc. may gain unlawful entry into your home and how to slow down that process.

While the assessment is intended to make it more difficult, more time consuming and noisier to gain entry, it is in no way construed as to make anyone’s house “burglar-proof.” The assessment usually takes about one and a half to two hours to complete. Areas covered include: alarm and camera systems, doors and locks, windows, gates, garage door system and exterior lighting.
