Home security

Home security, are measures that protect an individual's home and family. In developed countries, including the United States, the Police and Fire Departments provide, along with relatively low crime rates, a sense of safety in our daily lives. Crime or violence will always be real threats regardless of whether we are in a normal situation or after a disaster. However, people can take precautions to discourage burglary, home invasion, rape or murder.
