CSI keeps her house locked up like a fortress…
You can never be too secure.
One crime scene investigator can’t erase some of the horror she’s skilled on her job — so a lot so that she’s taken additional security precautions at her home to shield herself.
Amy Santoro is a real-life Olivia Benson — as she’s been working in forensics and on crime scenes for virtually 20 years.
After working on over 1,000 circumstances, some would suppose the 39-year-old has turn out to be numb to what she witnesses on the job, but it appears that some conditions stay in her reminiscence bank.

As a outcome, she set up her home to resemble a “fortress” just to be additional secure.
“Throughout my career, I saw all the things that could go wrong,” she told NeedToKnow.
“My house is secured like a fortress and I tend to be hypervigilant. [Because] I saw how easily burglars could kick in a door and gain access to a house, so I have reinforced door jams and extra-long deadbolt locks.”

After seeing firsthand all the scary methods somebody may weasle their means into a home, Santoro has all her home windows “locked and I have security window tracks that prevent them from being opened,” she told the outlet.
She also explained how the entry factors to her house are alarmed and she “never leaves a ground-floor window open.”
“I saw lots of burglary cases and peeping Tom situations where people could see straight through the house at night because the curtains were never drawn, so I always make sure to close my blinds at night when the lights are on inside.”

Some would suppose the 39-year-old’s job has made her paranoid, but she says it’s just made her more “aware.”
And how does somebody who works around such darkish issues day in, day trip take her feelings out of it and still see the nice in people?
“Every time I think I’ve seen the worst of humanity, something worse happens. Most of it is stuff people wouldn’t want to think about, but I’ve gotten used to it at this point.”
Yet despite all of that, Santoro stays hopeful that there are good people on the market.
“But, more than that, I’ve seen how good people are. In every terrible situation, there are people who are willing to step up and help,” she said.
“I’ve really been able to see how communities come together and how families work to support each other. Overall, I think people are genuinely good.”
