Home Security Surveys — Prevent Your Home from being Burglarized
With all of the recent burglaries in the area, including the most recent cases on April 11 where one burglary occurred in Wood Creek Subdivision and the other closer to Pine Hollow in the Dixie Hollow Subdivision, residents may want to consider having a home security survey done by the Pearland Police Department. This survey may help identify weaknesses in the security of your home and also may provide you with an insurance discount.
Here are more details about the program:
Homeowners may be eligible to receive up a discount on their homeowner’s insurance policy if they meet certain security requirements. The discounts that may be considered by insurers include those for proper doors/windows/locks and also for correct alarm installation. The only persons that can conduct the security surveys are licensed peace officers that have completed a forty-hour crime prevention course. The Pearland Police Department has many officers certified to conduct such surveys. Commercial security surveys are also done by request on existing buildings and on blueprint plans. Although a commercial security survey does not qualify for an insurance discount it often offers a safer working environment and a better-secured building.
