If there is ANY suspicious activity (even if nothing is disturbed or stolen) call “911” to report it to the Gwinnett County Police Department and notify the WOP HOA at whiteoakplacehoa@gmail.com

Protect your home from theft with these Safety Tips:  

​​

1. Burglars HATE bright lights. Install outside lights and KEEP THEM ON at night. Motion-detector lights can be particularly effective.

2. Check Your Locks. Make sure every external door has a strong, well installed dead bolt lock. Key- in-the-knob locks alone are not enough. Always keep your doors locked, even if your at home.

3. Lock double-hung windows with key locks or “pin” your windows by drilling a small hole at a 45 degree angle between the inner and outer frames, then insert a nail that can be removed.

4. Use curtains on garage and basement windows if possible.

5. If you have a home alarm system, use it! Activate your alarm system — Alarm systems are only useful when you remember to activate them.

6. You know your neighborhood and neighbors. If you notice anything suspicious in your neighborhood, call 9-1-1 immediately. Strangers running across you’re backyards, young adults with backpacks, people sitting in parked cars for a long period of time.

7. While nothing is 100%, being vigilant and always aware of your surroundings can make a huge difference and may help the police in apprehending these criminals
