For Your Safety

Ask your police department if they have Power Point Home Survey Program.

Our church had a meeting with the Simpsonville Police Department to explain this program. IT IS FREE. They are not there to sell you anything.

The aim of the surveys is to "give communities and individuals the skills to make their homes and property more resistant to theft and damage” therefore reducing crime.

Objectives
• survey a property
• identify potential security risks
• make recommendations to reduce the risks
• understand the balance between security and safety (To secure your home you might put bars on your windows but would that be safe in case of a fire?)

The purpose of this course is to provide basic information to community groups so they can become involved in reducing crime.
The best way to achieve this is to take into account local problems and concerns, awareness of gangs because of graffiti.

• Home security checklist form
• Record of valuable property form
• Ask your local police department for contacts. A list of useful organizations, addresses and web resources.

Information Points
• The Objective is to try and make our homes and property more resistant to theft and damage
• Introduces the Home Security package and gives the skills to get started with surveying your own home
• The second part takes these skills further and develops them so that you can help others take this survey using a recognised system and to a recognised standard
• The third part looks at how we will apply these new skills and how to develop them.

Purpose is to determine the status of crime in your area.
Identify the risks.
Determine how you can protect your home and family.
Minimize criminal opportunity. (Senior Citizens and singles parents are often targets.)

PowerPoint is designed to get individuals focused on the topic of burglary
• to identify security weak and strong points
• show that without any training at all; they already have security problems

Knowledge is Powerful.
