Think WIDEN to prevent burglary

Date Added: 19/01/2023

Nearly two-thirds (65%)* of us are worried about our home being broken into, yet there are simple, proven measures we can all take to halve our chances of being burgled.


Neighbourhood Watch Network have joined forces with longstanding primary smart security partner, ERA Home Security, to bring you the Think WIDE(N) burglary prevention campaign highlighting the simple, evidence-based WIDE measures which can be taken in any home on a variety of budgets.


Neighbourhood Watch also believe neighbours keeping an eye out for each other is key to reducing burglary, so have extended the WIDE acronym to WIDE(N):


•  W: WINDOWS: Keep your windows locked
•  I: INTERIOR: Put inside lights on a timer/smart bulb
•  D: DOORS: Double or deadlock your doors
•  E: EXTERIOR: Put outside lights on a sensor
•  (N): NEIGHBOURS: Keep an eye out for your neighbours
