Are dogs an effective security measure?

We all love a great family pet, and they can help protect us. Is a dog an effective security measure for safeguarding your home? Lets look together, here is the top 4 deterrents for minimizing break ins. #4) Dog inside If you were wondering if dogs deter burglars, now you know! According to the study, burglars hate dogs. There are basically two types of dogs that can boost your security: Guard dogs, the big, scarier looking ones that intimidate Alarm dogs, the yappy ones that alert you to someone’s presence around your home We’re not saying buy a dog for the sake of security, but if you’re thinking about getting a dog that also helps keep your family safe, it’s something to consider. #3) People inside The last thing burglar's want is to encounter anyone in your home. They’d rather get your stuff and get out without an incident. That’s why they’re more likely to break in during the day when no one is home.  If you go on vacation, make sure you ge

Hectic lives

Is that window left open? Did the house lose power? Sometimes we forget the little things with hectic schedules, kids and work. #Thereisanappforthat #Foxguardsecurity #Letushelp

Freedom

Freedom comes in different forms, and often is all about # perspective .       Freedom means different things to different people. To some it means living in a free country, and know little about what that means. To others freedom is peace of mind, dreaming, and ability to have a flexible schedule. Dreams without goals however are just dreams, and require discipline and consistency. Hiking Mt. Everest doesn't happen over night, it requires planning and discipline but the freedom realized at the top is 100% of the time worth it.       Do you have the ability to do what you really want? # Secure your plans, your future and safeguard your valuables. # foxguardsecurity

Bumps in the night.

Sometimes bumps in the night are real. If that noise is the cat knocking over a vase, are you prepared for that?  If that noise was someone crawling through a window, are you ready for that? Assign Each Person A Task : When you are ready to take on a plan for an emergency you want to use each member of the house to cover all areas. One person can be the main protector that will retrieve a weapon and use it as a defense . Another member should be responsible for calling the local authorities and giving descriptions and information so that a law enforcement officer can come and assist. Other members can be responsible for locking doors , being the second line of defense and rounding up younger family members into the designated hiding spot. The ability level of each member should be considered when handing these assignments out. One way to get your defenses better is to target practice at a range . You want to be confident with your firearm and have accurate aim to ensur

Lets make this a safer place, shall we?

Know your neighbors and observe patterns. This cannot be emphasized enough. Know whether they work during the day, whether they have children (and, if so, what they look like), and what their needs are. Do you live next to an elderly couple that stays home, but sometimes needs help? Or is there a teenage driver in the family?  Are there small children you need to look out for? Knowing these things helps you be aware of who is in your neighborhood and what could be suspicious. Keep up your property, and encourage all of your neighbors to do the same. A neighborhood with mowed lawns, flowers, and freshly painted homes looks like it’s cared for, and this alone can help deter crime. A well-kept yard also provides fewer places for suspicious persons to take cover. If there is a certain open lot or abandoned home that is an eyesore, work together as a neighborhood to clean up weeds, plant trees, and do a bit of fixing up on the exterior. Be extra cautious when you

Social Media security risks

What do you post on social media? While we all love sharing photos with friends and family, please remember that sharing pics of you on a cruise also sends a clear message : "We are not home, and no one is protecting our valuable belongings" An excerpt from a Facebook article: "Social Networking Security Threats" Users need to remember that Facebook makes money from its advertisers, not users. Since advertisers want to get their message out to as many people as possible, Facebook shares your information to everyone, not just your "friends." And most recently, Facebook's facial recognition technology automatically suggests that friends tag you, unless you turn it off. Scams on Facebook include cross-site scripting, clickjacking, survey scams and identity theft. One of the scammers' favorite methods of attack of the moment is known as cross-site scripting or "Self-XSS." Facebook messages such as Why are you tagged in this

Home security tips 101.

From all of us at Fox Guard Security please consider these tips to help keep you and your family, and your possessions, safe and secure. Landscape with safety in mind.  As you walk around your property, look for areas that could be potential hiding spots for thieves, who prize the privacy they provide. Try and clear away any overgrown areas. Talk with your local police department.  Ask your police department to come and inspect your home and property and provide suggestions to increase home security. They can also offer insight on past break-in trends in your area. Know your neighbors.  Take the time to meet and engage with people on your street and encourage them to watch out for any suspicious activity when you are not home. Lighting matters.  Lighting can set the right ambiance inside your home, but outdoor lighting can be the difference between your home being targeted – or not – by thieves. Motion-sensitive fixtures can help add security and provide light when nee
