Home Safety Tips: 12 Ways to Keep a Home Safe from Criminals

Whether you are a homeowner or a renter, it is always a good idea to practice home safety tips.

Consider investing in an alarm system for your home. For a minimal fee each month (average $40/month= average $1.33/day) you are buying yourself a peace of mind. Make sure that the alarm system has a panic button feature that you can easily use.
