As seasonal property owners wind down for the winter the Kindersley RCMP would like to remind property owners of the following tips to protect their holiday property as they lock up:
- Keep everything of value out of view and consider taking what you can home with you.
- Consider installing security cameras if you’re able.
- Use motion-sensor exterior lighting and indoor lighting timers.
- Make your place look lived in and ensure the property is maintained while you’re away.
- Keep a catalogue of your belongings.
- Before you leave, make sure all doors, windows and outbuildings are locked and secured.
- Finally, make friends with your neighbours and have a year-round resident check on your property from time to time. If they fill you in on anything suspicious happening, report it to police.
Kindersley RCMP responded to a further 48 calls for service from September 26th to October 2nd which included, but was not limited to, seven suspicious person complaints, two assaults, and two failing to comply with a court order calls for service.
