| This page contains the Table of
Contents for a lengthy article describing how to properly secure your premises against
break and enter. It gives many tips and hints on simple, no cost or low cost
ways to measurably improve your security without necessarily going to the cost of an alarm
system (certainly not as a first choice anyway). In the past, I have given out printed
copies of the whole article after public speeches, to ensure people had something to
remind them afterwards of what to do to secure their premises. However, when or if you decide on electronic security, that section of the article especially will teach you much you may not hear elsewhere ! This article has been revised many times over the past years in order to keep it current, and to reflect the many things I have learned and continue to learn in this business. The total article encompasses over 28 pages of typed text (113K).
