Whether you are planning a quick trip to the cottage or a campground or are exploring our beautiful province, Halifax Regional Police is sharing some tips for securing your home while you are away:
- Stay up to date with current COVID-19 provincial directives, especially travel restrictions and gathering limits. For the latest information, visit: https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus
- Inform a trusted neighbour, friend or family member that you will be away and ask that they keep an eye on your property. It’s also a good idea to leave your destination and contact information so you can be reached in case of an emergency.
- Ensure your windows and doors are locked before you leave.
- Try to make it appear as though your home is still occupied while you’re away. For example, use a light timer and ask a neighbour to collect your newspaper.
- Don’t announce your travel plans on your social networking sites. Also, sending updates while you’re away informs everyone that you’re not home.
Stay safe and enjoy your travels.
