Police in West Mifflin are helping homeowners ensure their properties are secure by offering security surveys to help stop burglaries before they happen.
Certified officers trained in crime prevention techniques will conduct the surveys for borough residents, according to the police department’s website.
The surveys will examine exterior design and security as well as interior security design, including lighting, landscaping, alarm systems, door, windows and lock, the department said.
Homeowners will receive a detailed report, advice and recommendations on how to further secure their property. Suggested improvements will be catered to a homeowner’s budget.
Channel 11's Gabriella DeLuca asked police whether the program is being offered because of any recent crime. She was told that is not the case right now, but there is sometimes an uptick in burglaries as the weather gets warmer, so it's a good time to take advantage of the service.
West Mifflin residents interested in having a home security survey conducted is asked to call the police department at 412-461-3125.
