KSS Incident Report 11 - 21 January 2021
Dear KSS Clients
General Security Advice
1. Test your alarm at least every 3 months and request the services of a technician if your alarm is faulty. It is important to inform your security service provider when you are testing your system.
2. If you park your car outside your garage, ensure that you have external beams linked to your alarm system to alert you if you have an intruder on your property.
3. Secure any outbuildings, sheds, veranda’s and garages with some sort of external protection. These areas can be linked to your existing house alarm.
4. Now is a perfect time to trim all excess foliage and clean up your property and verges.
5. Number your property clearly so that emergency services can easily locate your address.
6. Don’t leave items lying around outside in view of the road. There are opportunistic criminals that quickly jump into and out of yards and steal these smaller items.
