We don’t just respond—we prevent.


Our Top Security Tips for Tampa Residents in 2025

1. Always rekey your locks when moving
Even in “safe” ZIP codes, former tenants or contractors may still have keys.

2. Use smart locks—but know their limits
Smart locks add convenience, but only when paired with physical reinforcements.

3. Secure all sliding doors and side entrances
Criminals often avoid the front door.

4. Protect cars in driveways
Remote signal boosters are now being used to unlock and steal cars.

5. Know your ZIP code—and act accordingly
Security solutions must be localized to where you live or work.
