Home Security

🚔 Home Security Advice from Leicestershire Police 🏡

Burglaries can have a significant impact on victims, but there are simple steps you can take to help protect your home and belongings.

✅ Always lock doors and windows, even if you're only leaving for a short time.
✅ Keep keys, handbags, wallets and other valuables out of sight and away from doors and windows.
✅ Use security lighting, CCTV or a video doorbell where possible.
✅ Make your home look occupied if you're away by using timer switches for lights.
✅ Avoid posting holiday plans or extended absences on social media until you return home.
✅ Ask a trusted neighbour, friend or family member to keep an eye on your property if you're away.

Many burglaries are opportunistic. Taking a few simple precautions can make your home a less attractive target and help keep your family and possessions safe.

If you see suspicious behaviour in your neighbourhood, please report it. In an emergency, always call 999. For non-emergencies, call 101 or report online via our website.

Together, we can make Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland safer places to live, work and visit.
