Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first step to take during a home invasion?

The absolute first step is to immediately initiate a 911 call. It's recommended to use speakerphone so the dispatcher can hear everything happening and understand the severity of the situation.

What crucial information should be provided to 911 during a home invasion?

You must clearly state that you are in trouble, someone is in your house, they are breaking and entering, and you believe they intend to cause harm. Providing your exact address is also critical for rapid dispatch.

How should family members be described to 911?

Provide detailed descriptions of everyone in the home, including their relationship to you (e.g., husband), physical appearance (height, weight, build, facial hair), and clothing. This helps law enforcement identify individuals upon arrival.

What are the defensive instructions for a family member during a home invasion?

Instruct family members to remain in a designated safe location and not to move. If an intruder enters that secured area, they should be prepared to use their firearm for self-defense.
