What changes can you make to your home and property to encourage criminals to look elsewhere? In this video, PDN looks specifically at using landscaping around a home to enforce Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design principles.

8:45Part 6 | Balance of Speed & Precision
Rob Pincus and Deryck Poole work with a student on the range to improve his ability to adjust his balance of speed and precision to the target size and distance while in the middle of any handgun shooting drills. Too often, students get conditioned to fire at one particular pace. See other videos in our…

1:27Ankle Holster Concealed Carry Option
Ankle Holsters offer one unique advantage for defensive firearms carry, as they place your defensive tool in a location that most people do not think to look. Danny Pieratti prefers ankle carry and demonstrates proper presentation from that position in this video.

2:30Kydex Outside the Waistband Holster
Factors that influence which Kydex outside the waistband holster you prefer include Kydex quality, ride height and cant. Rob Pincus presents another issue that isn’t talked about as much: the percentage of the gun’s profile that is off centerline and being pressed up against the body. When a greater percentage of the gun presses on…

2:30Interconnectedness of Defensive Firearm Training
Student alert! If your defensive firearms instructor is not giving you an integrated system of firearm manipulation techniques but rather a set of unconnected techniques that don't integrate well together, don't reinforce each other, and don't contribute to your efficiency by being consistent with one another, you need to challenge those techniques.

while i agree with what has been said, i believe that security is a multiple prong approach. i like privacy and have tall fences and grapes growing around the perimeter. this of course is not what is recommended. the only easy access is my front door. a camera system i have used for 20 years or more and just replaced it with digital, infrared system that is out standing. it is also recorded. i can not recommend it enough. also 2 rotties does not hurt. since i put up the cameras i have not had a major problem, and that is why i put them up many years ago. i can sit and watch the view without sacrificing my privacy. the tall fence and the dogs seem to work inside the yard. 4 and 8 camera systems have become fairly inexpensive, what an improvement over what was around 20 years ago, in cost and quality. i live in a bad place and can not trust my neighbors. the price you pay when you can not pay or have little money. i do have one neighbor i can trust, but life goes on. i have had dogs poisoned and they are my babies. it sure hurts. but life goes on at least for the moment. oh, my doors have a top and bottom dead bolt, 2 keyed dead bolts. nothing is perfect. multi layered approach. plus, everyones circumstances are different. and the approach must be tailored to you.
The system starts with an ozone generator chamber where a high intensity Ultraviolet (UV)
light is used to break the bonds of oxygen molecules and create the
unstable ozone molecule. Another downside to
digital scales is that they naturally run on batteries, meaning that eventually the batteries will die and need replacing.
These scales have proven themselves to be accurate and easy to read and use, making them a convenient choice whenever you need to measure weight.

Again the IC 555 runs in the astable mode, creating flashing pulses
at frequencies set by R1 and C1. Some of these systems use remote cell phone door answering, which allows the user to unlock a door remotely using their cell phone as a trigger.
Excellent point yo ‘up trim’ hedges so nobody can hide behind a hedge. Look at any bank and you’ll see windows are never blocked by hedges to offer cover for bad guys wanting to get in, or to block occupant visibility to the outside.
Excellent video, Rob! Something that doesn’t get the attention it should. I’m a proponent of ‘hostile planting;’ using plants that discourage approach. While care should be taken to ensure safe egress in case of emergency, the mere sight of “Spanish Bayonets” in front of a home will give potential burglars second and third thoughts.
