While auto theft remains the primary concern for residents, home break-ins remain all too common throughout the town, and the two may often be correlated.

Residents are encouraged to look into the Halton Police’s home security inspection service which is conducted by the Auxiliary Policing Unit and is meant to identify weak spots in your home security.
