****Personal Safety Tips In Your Home***

  • Never open the door without knowing the person’s identity.  Do not be afraid to ask for some identification.
  • Never let strangers into your home to use the phone.  Make the call for them.  Commit a mental description to mind.
  • Before entering your home, have your keys ready before you reach the door.
  • If you suspect someone is in your home, DO NOT GO IN.  Get to a phone and dial 911.
  • Install good locks on all doors and windows; use them.  Never hide keys outside.  Make sure your garage door is secure.
  • Close your blinds or drapes at night.  Always lock the doors.
  • Do not let callers know you are home alone.  Use “we” instead of “I”.  Never give out personal information over the phone.
  • If you live alone, use a first initial with your last name on your mailbox or the phone directory listing.
  • If you get an obscene call, hang up immediately and notify the Altadena Sheriff’s station.
