Millions of burglaries occur every year in the U.S., most of which are home break-ins, making it important for homeowners and renters to secure their belongings by installing security systems, ensuring their locks are working properly, and placing deterrents around the property.
Tahlequah Police Department Chief Nate King said law enforcement officials are fans of outside lighting, keeping houses locked at night, security systems, and paying attention to neighbors.
âI donât mean by watching [neighbors] as far as getting in trouble, but actually working together as a neighborhood to pay attention to whatâs going on around us,â said King. âSo if strange people show up or are loitering about, thereâs more than one set of eyes watching.â
