"Live Action!" Why Action Plans Can Improve Home Security

When a police department in a certain community or neighborhood receives several tips or calls on a recent rash of break-ins, robberies or burglaries... authorities respond by devising an immediate action plan to deal with those incidents in order to snuff them out right away.

In other words:
Reported Criminal Activity + Executing an Action Plan = A Safe, Effective Resolution. 

Whether it's dispatching a team of police to the scene just seconds after a report is called in or even requesting assistance from other local agencies & law officials, members of each department know exactly what to do "in case of emergency" to provide the most ideal solution to a problem.

Standard action plans are everywhere-- For emergency responders they exist internationally, mainly because the methodology is pretty much the same among law enforcement operations.

At theBulldog Bar we believe homeowners should take the same approach to achieve the best home security for you and your loved ones.

By organizing a specific strategy to carry out in emergency situations (such as suspicious neighborhood activity, an attempted break-in or even an actual burglary), everyone can be on the same page about what to do immediately, and how to do it safely.

Here's a sample action plan your family can implement under your roof:

-- Designate a special "hiding spot" in your household where family members can go in the event of an criminal invasion. If a burglar kicks in your door while you are somewhere in the house (but not visible to the intruder), resort to your "hiding spot" quietly and quickly call police for help.

-- Make sure everyone has an "emergency phone" (this can be a landline or a mobile device) within arm's reach...especially during late night hours or when children/teens are home alone. A phone on your nightstand can also be helpful if something were to happen while you were sleeping, so you can dial 9-1-1 instantly.

-- If someone is breaking into a dwelling in your neighborhood and you are off the premises (but close enough to see what is happening) re-locate to a safer area nearby, whether it's pulling into someone's driveway briefly or actually dropping in at a neighbor's house. Promptly contact authorities about what you witnessed, but only after you are out of harm's way.

Yes, it can be that simple... Create an action plan, inform everyone who lives with you about that plan, and execute it if necessary.


While door security locks , surveillance cameras and alarm systems can serve as great home burglary prevention tools... a strategic plan of action can provide a safe solution for your family, should your household privacy be compromised by a crook.
