Small town Safety

Guest post written by Lorraine Holbert.

I live in a very small town where everyone seems to know everyone, however the crime rate just keeps going up no matter what we do to make our neighborhood watch more effective. Without constant patrol something is bound to happen and this worries me considering I have three small children. One of the things that we did to make our home safer, is installing a home alarm from a security alarm company in Seattle. We now feel more safe when we are at home and we feel like our home is more safe when we are away. Another thing we do to make the neighborhood safer, is talking to our neighbors regularly about things that happen around the town. Knowing what is going on is one of the best things to have yourself prepared for the things that can happen. If you have a good relationship with your neighbors, then when something is going on, you will have someone to help look out for you and your family. They will be happy to look after your home because you are looking after theirs as well.
