HOW TO DETER A BURGLAR

In Canada, Break-in's occur every 90 seconds.

Use Reed Security's summer home security tips to reduce break-in's and put the odds of reduced property crime in your favor.

1. Burglars don't like awareness.

Share information about suspicious activity or crime with the Police and your neighbours.

2. Burglars can see you are travelling.

Do not post photos and videos of you travelling on social media.

Instead share privately with family and close friends.

3. Burglars look for easy access.

Make it difficult by locking doors and windows.

Consider adding window bars to basement windows.

4. Burglars don't like to be seen.

Keep your property well lit at night.

It also gives the appearance you may be at home.

5. Burglars target homes without security.

You are 400% less likely to have a break in with a monitored Reed™ smart security system.

Insurance companies often provide discounts.

6. Burglars don't like to be recorded.

ReedHD™ smart cameras detect visitors and alert you.

See, listen and speak to visitors and interrupt burglars.

7. Burglars like to hide.

Trim shrubs and trees to increase visibility.

Hire a student or landscaper for larger projects.

8. Burglars steal outdoor valuables.

Secure your your barbecue and lockup bicycles and lawnmowers in a lockable shed or garage.

9. Burglars target unoccupied homes.

Have a close friend or family member pick up your mail, cut your lawn and check on your property.

We are thrilled to celebrate Lesli Brayshaw, our incredible Client Care Specialist, on completing six years with Reed Security! Lesli's journey with us has been remarkable, and we couldn't be more proud of her achievements.

When Lesli joined Reed Security, she was uncertain about adapting her support skills to the security industry. Today, she stands as a confident and indispensable part of our team, expertly assisting both home and business security clients. Her unwavering commitment to our core value of "We Care" shines through in every interaction, making a significant difference in the lives of our clients.

One of the most rewarding aspects of Lesli's job is the joy she feels when helping people and receiving heartfelt notes of appreciation. Her dedication and compassion are truly inspiring. A memorable moment for Lesli was when our entire office went to see Top Gun Maverick to celebrate our company's performance - a testament to the family-focused culture we cherish at Reed Security.

Lesli's excitement for learning about new technology keeps her at the forefront of innovation, ensuring our clients always receive the best support possible. Outside of work, Lesli enjoys movies, spending quality time with family and friends, and traveling.

Lesli, your hard work, and dedication are deeply appreciated. Here's to many more years of success and happiness at Reed Security!
