Ajman Police shares essential home safety tips before travelling
Heading off on holiday? Passport: check. Suitcase: check. Home prepared for your grand disappearance? That’s the bit Ajman Police would rather you didn’t forget. As part of its Safe & Secure Summer campaign, Ajman Police is reminding residents that keeping your home safe before travelling takes more than locking the front door and hoping for the best. First up: resist the temptation to announce…
Ajman Police reminds residents to ensure their homes are safe before embarking on holiday travel. The campaign, Safe & Secure Summer, emphasizes that locking the front door is not enough to protect a vacant residence.
Firstly, the police advise against sharing travel plans on social media platforms. Posting about an upcoming vacation can inadvertently reveal that the home is unoccupied, potentially making it a target for burglars. It's better to save the excitement for when you return.
Secondly, Ajman Police recommends conducting an electrical sweep before leaving. They suggest unplugging unnecessary devices such as televisions, coffee machines, and phone chargers to minimize the risk of electrical faults while the home is unoccupied.
The key message from Ajman Police is that a few precautionary steps before traveling can significantly enhance home security and contribute to a more enjoyable return. They urge residents to lock up, unplug, and refrain from broadcasting travel plans on social media. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the only surprise upon returning home from a holiday is the laundry pile, not a security breach.
