Usually breaking in in pairs, these gunman are looking for cash, electronics, jewellry and other valuables.

Nashville On Top 25 Most Dangerous City

by Flex Alarms

With a crime rate of 50 crimes committed per one thousand residents, it’s no wonder why Nashville is on the Country’s 25 most dangerous cities list. The chances of becoming a victim in Nashville are one in 20; that is a pretty high chance, with other communities the same size having much lower chance of becoming a victim.

So why is the crime rate so high in Nashville? There is a lot of drug abuse, and a lot of guns. Which drug abusers that are armed that need more drugs, may be a cause of all the violent crimes and the break-ins. The poverty rate may also play a part in how high the crime is, as like most other violent cities, you can see a connection with the poverty rate and the crime rate in the area. The last thing that can be affecting the high crime rate in Nashville is the low graduation rates of high school and college students. This lower education rate is feeding the growing poverty rate, and in turn the crime rate, and drug abuse.

Good news, the crime rate in Nashville has been lowered over the last few years. In 2014, the murder rate was the lowest it had been in over 50 years. With the murder rate going down, we can hope to see the crime rate also go down.

The police are stepping up their game, to hopefully lower the crime rate even further and catch more criminals. The new strategies include adding more manpower to the force, creating better maps of where the crimes are happening, and engaging with the community.  The strategies are being put into place where the crime rate is highest, and then being implemented in the rest of Nashville.

You should also protect your home, and loved ones with a home alarm system, while the crime rate is still high in Nashville. FlexAlarms offers alarm systems to meet your needs in a home alarm system. FlexAlarms offers basic wall mounted alarm systems that can be hooked up to your smartphone or tablet for ease of use. Home alarm systems protect your home from being broken into, as most criminals don’t want to be caught. This means that a home alarm system is the best deterrent for burglaries, and to protect your home. The alarm system reports any suspicious activity going on in or around your home, no matter if you are home or not, day or night. The police will also be contacted as soon the alarm is tripped, allowing them to be at your home in a few minutes.

So, why worry about your or your loved ones safety in your own home? Or why should you worry about someone breaking into your home well you are out? Home alarm systems are inexpensive for the relief they provide the user, and the user’s family. FlexAlarms only take a few minutes to install and are easy to use.  Maybe your home alarm system lowers the crime rate a little bit more, making Nashville a better place to live.

Your Life Could Be Saved By A Nashville Alarm System

Flex Alarms’ wireless alarm systems are made up of three components known as the three Ds that act to keep you and your property safe and secure. These are Detect, Determine and Deter.

Detect

Your alarm has sensors attached to it which detect activity. There are many different types of detectors, such as:

  •         Motion sensors – detect movement in a large room
  •         Door and window contacts – switches that detect the opening or closing of a door or window by a magnet that sounds the alarm when moved.
  •         Panic buttons – can send a discreet call to a security center (such as Flex Alarms’) when pushed.
  •         Smoke detectors – alarms that detect smoke or fire
  •         Keypad – your alarm control panel; a board of buttons that you can control to enable or disable your alarm system. Flex’s Nashville alarm systems are up-to-date with the latest technology and we have an alarm system with iPhone app which means your keypad can be on your smartphone and can be controlled remotely, away from your home.

Determine

The control panel determines whether to sound the alarm or not. If a door or window is opened, but the alarm is disabled at the control panel, the alarm will not be triggered, but if the alarm is enabled, it will trigger its audible siren and your security center will be notified. They will then verify what has happened and whether there is a break-in, or a false alarm.

Deter

The sound of the alarm deters burglars because it alerts them to the fact that the owners of the home are being made aware of their presence and can have them prosecuted. If your smoke alarm sounds you can then take action to stop the spread of the fire and extinguish it.

So now, you should have a better idea of how our alarm systems works!
