Security Reminder

Dear Riverwalk Residents,
With all that is in the news, many owners find it essential to prioritize the safety and security of our community. Here are a few helpful hints.

1. Home Security:
   ● Ensure all doors and windows are properly secured, especially before leaving for holiday travels.
   ● Consider installing timers for lights to create the illusion of an occupied home.
   ● Collaborate with neighbors to keep an eye on each other’s properties.
2. Package Delivery Safety:
   ● With the increase in online shopping, be vigilant about package deliveries.
   ● Utilize package tracking services to monitor deliveries and retrieve them promptly.
   ● Consider installing secure drop-off boxes or using community package delivery services.
3. Exterior Lighting:
   ● Well-lit areas deter potential intruders. Check and replace outdoor lights to maintain visibility
   around your property.
   ● Motion-activated lights are an excellent addition to enhance security during the darker winter
   months.
4. Travel Safety:
   ● Inform a trusted neighbor about your travel plans.
   ● Request periodic checks on your property to ensure everything remains secure.
   ● Avoid broadcasting your absence on social media.
5. Vehicles:
   ● Ensure your vehicles are locked prior to entering your residence.
   ● Remove any valuable items from being visible for potential thieves/criminals.
