The Political Signs of Safe Living (PKVW) is a hallmark of homes in the Netherlands and Belgium that are secured to a certain extent. Homes that get the hallmark have built-in retarders, and have no weaknesses that make it easy for a burglar to enter the house. The concept is from England, where it is called Secured by Design.
In the middle of the police in Holland Midden together with the government, a regional experiment began with the local government in 1994. This is because not only a home, but also the environment must meet certain safety requirements. Since 2005, the Center for Crime Prevention and Security (CCV) has taken over the custody of the police, as it is decided that the police should take care of the prevention task. This has shifted the responsibility for deploying the label to the municipalities. The issue of the certificate of conformity is no longer done by the police but by construction companies with a PKVW approval. Requirements
To get the political mark, a home must meet the following requirements:
The PKVW existing building and PKVW newbuilding textbooks specify the requirements and specify how to meet. Sticker
A property that is approved gets a sticker that is stuck visibly at the front and back door. According to statistics, residents of a house with a quality label stick up to 95% less chance of burglary. Insurance and housing value
Many insurers give a discount on the home insurance premium if the home has the hallmark. When selling a home, security can be an additional selling point.
