- Doors, Windows, Glazing, Grilles and Shutters
- Security Inside the Home
- Gardens, Access, Lighting, Alarms and CCTV
Getting started
Can we suggest that you begin by carrying out the on-line Home Security Survey. Although you can't beat the home visit by the local Crime Prevention Officer (CPO), police budget cuts over recent years have meant that this service is not as available as it once used to be. Our Home Security Survey has been designed to almost exactly replicate the CPO visit and what's more you'll be sent a detailed, tailor made assessment report and score immediately you've submitted the anonymous questionnaire; so much more useful than the security checklist you'll find on other sites! Calvin Beckford, a retired police crime prevention specialist and the author of this website, has carried out literally thousands of home security surveys, so you can be confident that the advice you'll be sent will be both accurate and up-to-date.

Once you've received the report you can work your way through the recommendations by clicking on the links and after you've made the improvements you can carry out a second survey to see by how much your score has improved.
