Please help yourself and your neighbors stay safe in your homes by considering some of the following basic safety measures in your house, condo or apartment building:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>If you don&#8217;t know them &#8230; don&#8217;t let them in!<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 No one should follow you in the front door and\/or into the parkade without request. The same applies to your intercom or your own personal front door: if you don\u2019t know them \u2013 don\u2019t let them in. If you see someone that doesn\u2019t belong, please take note. Contractors should all have identification and able\u00a0to show this to you &#8212; we can\u2019t imagine anyone that would mind providing proof when respectfully asked if they belong in the building or on the property.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Check the locks.<\/em><\/strong> Make sure that doors lock after you&#8217;ve entered or exited. Further, check your window locks to make sure they work properly.\u00a0 Make sure that your doors and windows are left locked at all times.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Meet the neighbors.<\/em><\/strong> Residents who know the people in their building or on their block, are better able to spot strangers. Being familiar with neighbors also makes it easier to look out for one another by watching a neighbor\u2019s space or pets when they are gone<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Get a safe. <\/em><\/strong>If a burglar gets into an apartment, condo or house, a secure safe may be the only other way to protect valuables. Safes can be purchased in a variety of sizes and for varying prices. Using a safe is also great for hiding possessions in smaller areas around the apartment.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Suspicious activity should always be reported to the non-emergency police line at 403-266-1234. If a break in is imminent and\/or in progress &#8211; call 911. If you have been broken into, please report it to the police &#8211; call 911 and let your property manager know what has taken place. Being mindful of the above steps along with the awareness of surroundings, can go a long way in the prevention of crimes and property break-ins.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1350 size-medium\" title=\"Maintaining Personal Safety in a Multi-Family Building\" src=\"https:\/\/emeraldmanagement.com\/wp-content\/media\/Maintaing-Personal-Safely-Blog-pic-600x222.jpg\" alt=\"Maintaining Personal Safety in a Multi-Family Building\" width=\"600\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emeraldmanagement.com\/wp-content\/media\/Maintaing-Personal-Safely-Blog-pic-600x222.jpg 600w, https:\/\/emeraldmanagement.com\/wp-content\/media\/Maintaing-Personal-Safely-Blog-pic-768x284.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emeraldmanagement.com\/wp-content\/media\/Maintaing-Personal-Safely-Blog-pic.jpg 851w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Security is everyone&#8217;s responsibility.
