It is a well-known fact that satisfactory lighting is a very valuable deterrent to crime. Although most any lighting might help reduce your risk of becoming a victim; the right lights, utilized properly will be an extremely effective deterrent to burglars and other intruders and improve your home security.

Outdoor Lighting
Outside lights are critically important, especially near doorways and at the rear of your residence, where break-ins typically occur. All round security lighting that is set-up high out of reach, and is tamper proof, will greatly improve your home security and help to protect your home. Lighting in carports and garages is also critical. An automatic garage opener is the best choice. All the best garage door openers fitted today use a light that operates when the opener is activated, lighting the garage interior. In carports, it's best to either leave a light on permanently, have a light on a timer, or use a motion sensor to activate the light. It is best to use a motion detector on all exterior lights that are not left switched on.

The principal benefit of this for home security, especially in the backyard, is that the light warns you that someone is in your yard. If you think that dogs, cats, or even birds will trigger the sensor and cause the lights to come on unnecessarily, you can set the sensitivity of the sensor just right so that this will not be an issue. In the front yard, any type of lighting will be efficient, but make sure that the lighting design covers the entire front and sides of the home. Sensors can be utilized, although they will be prone to "false alarms" induced by things like people walking down the sidewalk, or even children playing.

Indoor Lighting
Whenever you go out for the evening, I suppose that, like most people, you leave a light on. The Police call these lights "burglar beacons". A burglar beacon is a single light that is left on so you do not return to a dark home when you get back. Regrettably these lights are a sign for the burglar that you are out. When you go out for the evening or away on holiday make certain that several lights are left on, in different parts of the home, and furthermore a radio is left on as well. Put them on timers, from the exterior of your house, it should look as though someone is home at all times to improve your home security.

 A NOTE ON THE AMBER ALERT SYSTEM FOR SAVING CHILDRENS

518 children have been recovered because of the AMBER Alert.

How does it work?
Once law enforcement determines that a child has been abducted and the abduction meets AMBER Alert criteria, law enforcement issues an AMBER Alert and notifies broadcasters and state transportation officials. AMBER Alerts interrupt regular programming and are broadcast on radio and television and on highway signs. AMBER Alerts can also be issued on lottery tickets, wireless devices such as mobile phones, and over the Internet.

Are AMBER Alerts issued for all missing children?
AMBER Alerts are issued for abducted children when the situation meets the AMBER Alert criteria. When a child is missing, law enforcement can act swiftly to help recover the child, by developing search and rescue teams or by bringing dogs to the scene to track the scent. AMBER Alert is only one tool that law enforcement can use to find abducted children. AMBER Alerts should be reserved for those cases that meet the AMBER criteria. Overuse of AMBER Alert could result in the public becoming desensitized to Alerts when they are issued.

What are the criteria for issuing AMBER Alerts?
Each state AMBER Alert plan has its own criteria for issuing AMBER Alerts. The PROTECT Act, passed in 2003, which established the role of AMBER Alert Coordinator within the Department of Justice (DOJ), calls for DOJ to issue minimum standards or guidelines for AMBER Alerts that states can adopt voluntarily. DOJ's guidance on criteria for issuing AMBER Alerts is:

•Law enforcement must confirm that an abduction has taken place
•The child is at risk of serious injury or death
•There is sufficient descriptive information of child, captor, or captor's vehicle to issue an alert
•The child must be 17 years old or younger
•It is recommended that immediate entry of AMBER Alert data be entered in FBI's National Crime Information Center. Text information describing the circumstances surrounding the abduction of the child should be entered, and the case flagged as Child Abduction.
