Free crime prevention home security inspections offered to residents
One way to prevent a residential burglary in your neighborhood is to secure your home and make it less of a target for crime. Did you know Mission Viejo Police Services provides free crime prevention home security inspections for residents? Our Crime Prevention team is available to work with homeowners to identify potential risks and provide suggestions to improve home security.
There are many small steps a homeowner can take to improve home security. A walk-through, on-site inspection is performed with you and a written evaluation is provided as a reference. The team will assist in identifying areas vulnerable to intrusion and easy targets for criminals. Entry points to the home, windows, doors, locks, lights and landscaping will be reviewed.
The inspection covers the interior and exterior of the home and can take from 30 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the house. The resident must be present during the inspection and the team will only survey the areas of the home permissible by the resident.
Inspections are conducted by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, contact Crime Prevention at 949-470-8433 or crimeprevention@cityofmissionviejo.org.
