Make a photographic or video record of valuable objects, heirlooms and antiques. Your insurance company can provide assistance in making and keeping your inventory. Trim your shrubbery around your home to reduce cover for burglars. Be a good neighbor. Mark your valuables with your driver's license number with an engraver you can borrow from Waterford Police Department.
Marked items are harder for a burglar to dispose of and easier for police to recover.
Form a Neighborhood Watch Group. The Waterford Police can help you work with your neighbors to improve security and reduce risk of burglary. Ask for your Community Policing Coordinatory in your area of town by calling the Waterford Police Department. On a personal level, you may want to consider installing a burglar alarm system. The Waterford Police Department, however, does not and will not make any recommendations as to type or company to contact.
