Bring the title back to Newton

In 2004, Newton, Massachusetts was named ‘The Safest City in America’. Since then, the city has remained safe but has lost its number one spot. Of course, the safety of your home and family are much more important than a ranking on a list. To ensure the safety and wellbeing of your loved ones (and loved possessions) be sure you are taking all necessary safety precautions. If you don’t have a home security system in place, we HIGHLY recommend you install one. Locks and bolts may keep stray visitors from waltzing in, but they do relatively nothing when up against an armed and determined burglar. There are many affordable options for home security on the market today. We recommend looking into ADT-America’s number 1 security provider. ADT home security systems come with a digital keypad with one-touch access, a keychain for remote access, infrared interior motion detectors, a high decibel alarm siren, battery backup, ADT yard signs and decals (if a criminal knows you’re protected they’re less likely to break in), and best of all, professional installation. Home security systems ensure your home is protected both while you’re in it and away. You can set the alarm for ‘stay’ so you can sleep in peace, or ‘away’ to protect your house while you’re gone and ease your nerves when you walk into your dark empty house. In addition to home security systems, it is also a good idea to initiate some sort of neighborhood watch system. If you trust your neighbors, let them know when you will be leaving so they can look out for any suspicious activity. Other ways to keep Newton safe are to educate your children on the dangers of the world so they know to stay away from strangers and dangerous activities, report any suspicious activity you see so it can be looked into before it gets out of hand, and be sure to always lock your house and car doors no matter how long you plan on being away. Feeling safe at home is of utmost importance. Taking the extra steps to feel safe may cost some money, but the safety of your family and possessions are worth every penny.
