How to Keep Intruders Out of Your Home

Tips from the Pocatello Police Department for keeping your home secure.

1. Never assume "It can't happen here."

2. Secure all windows and doors before you go to bed.

3. Lock the outside garage doors, not just the inside door to the house. An intruder can work unnoticed inside if he gains access.

4. Install motion lights outside to deter intruders.

5. Have a plan and rehearse it, especially if you have children.

6. Keep pepper spray next to your bed. Aim for the eyes.
