Mumbai Police Is On Life Support !!

44,874 Serious Cases of Murder, Rape, Kidnap in 1 year
Because they are too busy catching film stars!
Why?
To take the bull by the horns
Meaning. To confront a problem and deal with it openly and to take strong and bold action to get the problem solved
Time to Take the Bull by the Horns
Rather than complain about how things are, take the bull by the horns and do something about the situation!
Time to Take your Family’s Safety In your Own Hands
The Police only comes after the Crime is Committed
Remember
And by then it may be too late!
Do I need a Home Security System?
Do You Have a Family Living With You?
Do You Have Kids?
Do You Have Pets?
Do You Have Valuable Belongings?
Do You Feel Scared at Night?
Welcome to the world of Home Security
But I have a Dog!
Yes dogs bark at intruders and can successfully scare them away
Unfortunately Dogs Can Be Bribed!
Dogs Can Be Also be Killed with a Blunt Object or Shot Dead
HOME SECURITY BASICS
Keep Your House Keys Safe
RULE NO. 1
Never Give out Duplicate Keys to Friends & Near Relatives
Do Not Keep your Keys Lying Carelessly Around The House
RULE NO. 2
Beef Up Your Doors
Handle Locks Are Very Easy To Bypass
Install Double Cylinder Deadbolts
73% of all burglars gain entry through a door entry way and 80% of the time DOOR FRAME FAILURE is the cause.
Install Strong Door Frames
RULE NO. 3
Install Grills & Metal Gates
French Windows or Sliding Doors Are an Open Invitation to Robbers
And lock them at night and before you leave the house for work or vacation.
Install Collapsible Metal Gates Behind Sliding French Windows
Or Use Wrought Iron Grills
RULE NO. 4
Remove Dense Foliage Around Your House
Trim DownExcess Branches & Leaves
Trees provide ideal coverage and provide intruders with ways to gain access to your home easily without being seen by people outside.
RULE NO. 5
Banish Darkness
Intall Floodlights in Your Compound
Intruders love darkness because it easily helps them to enter and exit without being noticed.
Light Up the Parking Areas, the Front & Especially the Back Of The Building at Night
Light Up the Passageways leading to your Flat or Home
RULE NO. 6
It’s a Full House
Create the Impression that Someone’s At Home Even When It’s Empty
Lighting Timers that are timed to turn on and off the lights of your house every evening create the impression that your house is not empty.
Inform the Newspaper Boy & Milk Man About Your Absence
Newspapers and milk pouches lying outside front door indicate your absence and immediately galvanise thieves into action.
But What Is The Best Fit For Me?
I’m Convinced I need a Home Security System!
Inside or Outside
Do You Want To Detect An Intruder Once he is Inside or Outside?
Glass Break Detectors for Inside
A glass break detector is a sensor that detects if a pane of glass is shattered or broken.
Monitor your house through CCTV cameras even when you are out of home by logging into an IP address. On your smartphone.
CCTV Cameras for Outside
Passive Infra red motion detectors works by detecting the heat energy given off by other objects and sounding an alarm or by sending a message to your mobile phone.
Burglar Alarms for Outside
Nothing can beat a loyal and attentive security guard for safety! You are lucky if you get one. Hold them close and never let them go!
