Home Security Tips

Protecting your home and family is very important to all of us. Here are some important home security tips that will help you keep your home secure. Follow these steps and use a monitored security alarm system and you will be able to rest easy knowing that your family is safe. Here are some important statistics to keep in mind as you read these home security tips:

Security systems are effective in preventing loss of life and property.

Home alarm systems deter intruders from attempting break-ins: homes without alarm systems are 2.2 times more likely to be burglarized than homes with alarm systems.
Source: The Greenwich Case: Securing Suburban Homes, Simon Hakim.

Systems are so effective that insurance companies commonly offer discounts of 10-20% or more when homes are protected by electronic security systems.

Of all uncompleted burglaries, 74% can be credited to an audible alarm. Source: Securing Home and Business, Hakim and Blackstone.

Aggravated assaults accounted for 60.4 percent of violent crimes, the highest number of violent crimes reported to law enforcement. Robbery comprised 32.0 percent of violent crimes, forcible rape accounted for 6.4 percent, and murder accounted for 1.2 percent of estimated violent crimes in 2008.
