During recent months, we have seen an increase in crime and burglaries in our area. Some speculate that household burglaries have been on the rise for a number of reasons, one including the economic crisis that a large portion of our population have experienced. People are desperate, and unfortunately resort to stealing from others. With online deliveries and packages being delivered to properties and being left unattended, this attracts thieves. Statistics show that even the location of a home on a particular block or the home’s surroundings can increase their risk of being burglarized.
So what is the best way to protect your home and possessions from being burglarized?
Most experts agree that a having a monitored security system in your home greatly decreases your chance of being burglarized. According to a report published by the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at the University of North Carolina, 60% of burglars said that homes with security systems influenced their decision to move on to another target. Having a professionally installed security system together with added features like video surveillance, life safety devices, and remote accessibility will increase your protection and safety in your home.
