While crime rates have generally declined over the past couple of decades, there have still been over 6.45 million reported cases of property crime between 1990 and 2020. According to FBI crime data, the most common property crime is larceny/theft, followed by burglary.
This is where security systems come into play. Residential and business security systems are great deterrents for would-be criminals. There are many security options to choose from and having a trusted security company by your side, like APS Security and Fire, will help protect your home and business.
Security Systems Deter Criminals
There are many advantages to installing a security system to protect your home or business. One of the biggest is that a properly installed system can help prevent your home or office from becoming a target for burglary, theft, or vandalism.
Many criminals seek out opportunities for the biggest reward and the lowest risk levels. That means that homes or commercial buildings with visible security equipment are less likely to become targets than those without any added protection.
Security System Monitoring Is Added Protection
In today’s digital age, many people have doorbell cameras and other gadgets that send notifications to their personal devices when things are going on at home. Still, there are times when you may not have access to your phone or when you are away on vacation.
Even if you don’t have camera systems, most alarms include an audible siren that sounds if someone breaks in. If a sounding alarm doesn’t deter the criminal, it won’t do you much good if no one is around to hear it. An intruder could be in and out before anyone was aware of a disturbance.
Professional security system monitoring services go beyond just deterring criminals. For example, in the event that an intruder breaks into your home or your place of business is vandalized, alarm monitoring services can ensure that the proper authorities are alerted quickly.
Dispatching help as soon as possible can be the difference between catching the guilty party or having them strike another location. But, more importantly, it can keep you, your family, or your employees safe if someone happens to be in the building during a break-in.
