Home Security Checklist

Home Security Checklist for Parkland County Residents

Why It Matters
Rural areas can be subject to property crime, and simple preventive steps can make a big difference. Securing your home protects your family, property, and peace of mind while helping build a safer community.

Doors & Windows

  • Install solid-core doors with deadbolts.
  • Lock all windows; add security film if possible.

Lighting & Visibility

  • Use motion-activated lights at entrances.
  • Trim shrubs/trees near windows and doors.

Alarms & Cameras

  • Test smoke/CO alarms monthly.
  • Consider monitored alarm and doorbell cameras. (These cameras can be registered through the RCMP CAPTURE program.)

Vehicles & Outbuildings

  • Lock vehicles, ATVs, trailers; remove keys.
  • Secure garages and sheds; keep valuables out of sight.
