The Cost of Safety

Sometimes its difficult to put a price tag on safety. But what if you could make your family and neighborhood safer for about 3-5 cents a day?

Seems like a silly question with an obvious answer doesn't it. Yet every night when you look around the neighborhood more than half of the homes do not have their exterior lights on.

(1) Leaving your exterior lights on cost pennies per day - and - (2) even less if you purchase purchase energy saving fluorescent light bulbs (CFL).

All crime is 90% opportunity. One of the easiest ways to deter crime is to have a well lit environment. Criminals hide in the comfort of darkness. Leaving your exterior lights on will go a long way to prevent an opportunity for a crime to take place.

Look for yourself at the difference it makes when a number of houses all on one street have their lights on compared to a street with very little lighting.

Together we can Leave the Lights On for Safety.
