Below are some other very important tips which can be helpful on the subject of home invasion emergencies.
The National Crime Prevention Council recommends a variety of measures to protect against home invasions. The nonprofit educational group based in Washington, D.C., also suggests ways to respond to a home invasion in progress.PROTECTIVE MEASURESDOORS: The council recommends replacing any hollow or pressed wood doors that provide access to the garage or the outside. "That doesn't mean turn your house into a bank vault, but it does mean that you have either solid wood doors or metal doors everywhere that grants access to outside the home," said Jean O'Neil, the council's director of research and evaluation. "For patio doors, if you feel you're really at risk, you might look at shatterproof or Plexiglas that makes it more difficult to cut through or crash through."LOCKS: The council views door chains as virtually useless. "They are interesting if you're trying to keep little children or animals from getting out, but if someone is determined to get into your house, those chains are only as strong as the screws holding them," O'Neil said. Instead, the council recommends deadbolt locks for all doors leading to outside. The bolt, or "throw," should be at least 1 1/2 inches long and the "seat" that the bolt fits into when locked should be secured with long screws that penetrate through a metal door frame and into a nearby wood stud for increased strength.VISIBILITY: The council recommends installing a wide-angle viewer, rather than the typical peephole, to improve depth and width of visibility at the front door.WINDOWS: The council recommends having a locksmith install keyed locks on windows.BARS: The council recommends installing wrought-iron bars on doors and windows to further fortify homes, but only ones that don't endanger occupants trying to escape a fire. "You have to have the quick-release mechanism that works from the inside to get the bars to fall away," O'Neil said.ALARMS: The council recommends installing alarms, but only ones that are centrally monitored. "That means if it trips, it's not just going to make noise, it's notifying a private company that will contact you immediately for a code word," O'Neil said.COMMUNITY: The council highly recommends starting or joining a neighborhood watch program.AWARENESS: The council says common-sense measures would prevent most home invasions. "If someone comes to the door and says there's an emergency and they need to use the phone, ask them what it is and make the call for them," O'Neil said. "If it's a delivery and you weren't expecting it, grab the phone or cordless phone and call whoever is supposedly delivering it."DURING THE CRIMEOnce a home invasion robber already is inside a home, the council recommends several measures to minimize the danger and to later aid authorities as they pursue arrest and prosecution.Commit the criminal's description to memory. The council recommends avoiding staring at the assailant during the robbery. "You do want to take quick glances and try to commit to memory things that will later help identification," O'Neil said. "Ask yourself questions to remember your observations. Is this person the same height as my bookcase? Think of someone you know who they have a similar build to. Does the person have facial hair, a tan, et cetera. Your job is to be a good witness once this person is caught."Know whether you're qualified to fight. The council generally recommends not trying to fight the robber unless you've had recent hand-to-hand combat training. "And I don't mean 10 years ago or military training 20 years ago," O'Neil said. "If your training was good and in the last three years, you might consider fighting." Local police, on the other hand, are hesitant to adopt such steadfast guidelines in advising citizens. "It would be irresponsible to set parameters under every circumstance where you should or should not fight back against the people invading your home," said Sgt. Rick Barela, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Department. "Generally, a person has to be capable and comfortable with his own physical skills before proceeding." What about using guns for defense? "We never recommend that somebody use or not use a firearm to defend their homes," Barela said. However, he said, should citizens decide to arm themselves, they should seek proper training.
