About

9PM Routine

Read full description

The 9PM Routine is an easy way to ensure your home is as secure as possible and less of a desirable target for criminals. It's a helpful reminder to make sure your property is secure before you go to bed. Create your own to-do list, share it with your family, sync in real time. Cloud based, backed up daily, iPhone and Pad support. The "9PMRoutine" is a social media campaign started in Florida in 2017. The idea is to encourage people to take a few simple steps every night at 9 p.m. to help prevent theft and keep their homes and vehicles safe. Burglars are criminals of opportunity. The easier it is to burglarize your home without getting caught, the more likely they are to commit the crime. If you make burglarizing your house a bit more difficult, you reduce the likelihood of your house getting hit.
