At the end of October the clocks go back as we officially say goodbye to British Summer Time, this means that winter is on it’s way and we can expect shorter days and darker nights.  For this reason Yale have created National Home Security Month, a national campaign that has been created to highlight the increased threat of home break ins during darker nights.

During the 5 weeks of October a different home security topic is covered, all of which will give households all the required info to protect themselves against burglary.

Week 1 – National Home Security Month is Back!

The home security campaign starts off with a look at the Yale Crime Watcher App.  This unique, app for all smart phones, has an easy to use postcode search facility which displays current burglary statistics within a one mile radius of your home, during a one-month period.  The Yale App also give useful tips and advice to effectively secure all sections of your home against burglary.  To get this app, simply search ‘yale crime watcher’ from Itunes or Android Play Store.
