Back to School - Help Keep Your Kids Safe

There are so many safety concerns with kids and school these days it is difficult to know where to focus. Depending upon the age of your child, mapping out routes for walking, biking and preparing them for school bus etiquette will assist in preventing problem areas as they travel to and from school. If your child is older, discussions on proper use of cell phones during school (know who is calling, what NOT to send people) and Internet protocol is usually the way to go. If you work outside the home and want to be notified when your kids arrive home, there are certain security features that can be added to your home to provide you with email and/or Internet alerts. Want to make sure your gun safe or liquor cabinet stays closed? Want to watch your kids over a highly secured Internet connection? These are just a few ways a well designed security system can help you as you and your family begin the 2010-2011 school year.
