Secured by Design is the official UK Police initiative supporting effective crime prevention and security standards for a large range of products.
In order to help you improve the security at home, we have drawn up a list of recommendations and precautions. If you take the time to assess the security of your home, follow the advice provided and take positive action, you will greatly reduce the risk of becoming a victim.
Most domestic burglaries are committed by opportunist thieves, who pick a home that looks unoccupied, has little or no obvious security, and where they think they will not be seen.

SBD aims to bring together the principles of designing out crime, effective crime prevention and security
standards for a range of applications and products.
Local police Crime Prevention Design Advisors (CPDAs) and Architectural Liaison Officers (ALOs) provide design advice and issue SBD Developers
Awards to the construction industry.
In order to qualify for Secured by Design membership, manufacturers must ensure that their products meet the minimum security standards specified by SBD. Once a product has been tested and certified to the relevant standard, the company may apply for SBD membership.
