First things first - fix your doors. Most doors in average homes are very susceptible to being kicked in. Consider replacing your current deadbolt strike plate with a strike box to help with that. Make sure you use 3 inch or longer screws to install it. They need to go in to the studs surrounding the door. While you are at it, replace all your hinge screws with the same type. If you really want to get serious, consider a door bar or something similar but make sure you can get it out of the way when you need to.

Some jurisdictions (mostly in hurricane country) mandate outside-facing hinges. If you are in that area and have outside-facing hinges, make sure you replace them with non-removable pin hinges so people can't pop the hinge pins out to take the door off.

Window film is a good idea, but it's a bear to install from what I've read, and it works both ways. You may inhibit your ability to break out a window if a fire or some other event requires you to leave via a window. Hurricane shutters may be a better option if you have the cash to pay for them, and they look a lot better than plywood covers.

Lighting is another important piece of the puzzle. Consider getting some motion-activated lights to cover all the dark areas around your property if you don't already have them. I usually keep a porch light on as well as another light by my garage; both of which illuminate all of the front yard.

Consider growing thorny plants underneath your windows on the ground floor, such as roses or the like. This will prevent people who aren't really determined from coming up to the windows and smashing them out.

If you have a driveway, you can consider a solar-powered driveway alert system which will send you a tone when someone passes by the sensor so you have some warning of people coming up the driveway.

Your local police department can probably help you better than I can. Most police departments will do a home security assessment for free if you call them up and ask for one. The officer will take a look at what's currently at your property and offer some recommendations.

If you have any questions please let me know.

People who lie out of convenience.

Had a contractor installing some new door jambs and doors to replace some that were in the process of rotting. I asked whether they could install some box strikes which according to Consumer Reports can significantly enhance the durability of even low-end deadbolt hardware.

The guys had finished putting the new doors in but the strikes were still in the package, untouched. I asked whether they encountered a problem installing them, and they basically blew me off, saying that the deadbolts would be "just fine", these ANSI grade 3 deadbolts, 3 which is ANSI's lowest acceptable grade for residential locks in terms of hardiness.

In hindsight, I should've incorporated this into the original estimate before I signed off on it, and specified that installing the strikes would be part of the requirements of the job, but didn't. Still, it would've been nice if they just flat-out told me this, rather than blowing me off by telling me the adequate lock hardware would be fine and essentially not benefit from their having to take an extra hour to install the more secure strikes.

The thing about lies of convenience is that many people can tell you're doing it and will file it away in their file of what to watch for with certain people, but won't necessarily call you on the carpet about it.

The deadbolt was installed behind the door trim, not into the 2x4 stud. This is a poorly installed door.This is an effective strike corrector that comes in various finishes and won't make your frame look bad. That's important in apartment setting. This is also very effective and old school and does no permanent alterations to anything.

As a locksmith I can tell you the MOST important part of securing the door is making the strike better. Builders install these things for looks and ignore security. The old and really dangerous line of thinking is that "locks only keep honest people out". I have secured doors that fire departments couldn't break through. It only takes money, and most people invest more in their phones than they ever consider investing in their personal security.

A quality deadbolt installed in a reinforced strike can stop a battering ram, but most people are to cheap to pay for it.
