Never leave valuables in plain view, even if your car is locked this is the number one reason cars are broken into. Household Security - don't encourage a burglar by displaying valuable items where they can be seen from a window, leave belongings outside unsecured, and don't hide keys anywhere outside your house.

DEFENSE BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (DBIDS)

DBIDS is a Department of Defense (DoD) system developed by the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) as a force protection program designed to manage personnel, property and installation access for the DOD.

DBIDS increases installation security and communications by receiving frequent database updates on changes to personnel/credential status, law enforcement warrants, lost/stolen cards, and force protection conditions.  The system provides a continuous vetting anytime the DBIDS card is scanned at an installation entry point.
