Residents of the Belgian city of Aalst who want to protect their home against burglary can qualify for a security premium and have part of the expenses covered, local authorities informed recently. The financial help is meant to cover a quarter of the purchasing amount of the theft-preventive appliances for the home or up to 150 euros.
There are some conditions to be meant in order to make use of the funds for increased security of the home, authorities further point out. These include:
Financial assistance to insure one’s home is only one of the measures that the city offers. On top of that and as a condition to receiving it, homeowners (or tenants) must make an appointment with the theft prevention advisor of the Local Police. He will then take a tour of the property and analyse the most sensitive areas – a lock that is too light, a window that does not close properly, etc.
The inspector will then advise on extra security measures to be taken. Based on said recommendations, the applicant can then proceed to implement the measures and receive up to 15% of the costs back.
After having secured their home, the advisor might decide to carry out a new inspection and consult on the improvements. Should they give the green light, the city will authorise the disbursement of the funds.
