Operational security expert Gina Field discussed rising winter security risks with Cindy and Daz.
She explained many Australians still leave doors unlocked, with 3,000 people per minute not locking their front doors. Gina recommended households do regular security check-ins during winter or daylight saving changes.
She advised families to check sensor lights, secure gates, and install affordable CCTV systems. She also urged travellers to make homes look lived-in by using timers and locking side gates. Gina warned that thieves watch social media to find empty homes during holidays, and she said homes in cul-de-sacs or quiet streets face higher burglary risks.
Gina encouraged neighbours to collect packages or asked people to divert deliveries to avoid theft. She urged Victorians to use CFA’s free smoke detector checks to improve safety and lower insurance costs. Finally, Gina invited listeners to contact Nepean Regional Security for personalised home security advice.
