Home Security Checklist
The Clayton Police Department has developed a guide to evaluate your home’s security utilizing the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). Crime prevention is a matter of balancing risk and choices, based on what is practical and what we know about criminal behavior.
This Crime Prevention Survey was developed as a courtesy for you by the Community Services Division of the Clayton Police Department. It does not address code violations or other safety issues. While every effort has been made to incorporate reasonable means to reduce the opportunities for criminal activities to occur, there is no expressed or implied guarantee that no criminal activity will take place if these suggestions are implemented. The recommendations for improvement are based on CPTED principles, which are widely accepted in the security, law enforcement and architectural fields.
