The police department said multiple measures people can take to decrease their chances of being victim to a home burglary. Some examples they explain are, advancements, improvements and cost reductions through technology, such as audible alarms or motion-activated home security cameras.
According to the caption, many statistics show that burglars are less likely to attempt to break into a home when a home security system installed.
The video starts off with a statistic showing from 2012-2017, an average of 150 burglaries occurred to homes in Winter Park each year. It continues to state even though one can't prevent all burglaries, if it does happen the Winter Park PD Ambush Prize Patrol are by their side.
The rest of the video includes a bit of comical relief to show what would happen if a Winter Park police officer caught a burglar in a resident's home.
