Property crimes according to Tennesse’s statistics are very high in Nashville. The National Crime Statistics median is 27.3 and Nashville’s rate is 39.71. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) website indicated that burglary offences in Nashville are on the rise. However, other crimes such as vandalism, arson and robbery are also becoming more widespread. Having your house burglarized is more than just a burglar stealing your valuables and possibly damaging your home in the process.  The average loss per burglary in the U.S is $2230, and this does not account for the psychological costs to the homeowner, who is left feeling that their privacy was invaded and which subsequently causes them to live in fear.

It takes a burglar between an average of 8-12 minutes to enter your home and remove valuables such as: jewelry, cash, electronics, gold and guns. While it will take you the homeowner, years to probably forget the horrifying experience. Do you ask yourself am I going to be the next victim? When you learn of someone else’s burglary experience? There is no need too.

A Nashville Alarm System will provide the safety that you, your family and your home deserve.  In today’s sophisticated, technological world, alarm systems are not just equipped to ward off intruders. With access from your smart phone you could also call emergency personnel and control your lights as well.

Flex Alarm’s flex panel interactive security and control system, is the first security panel specifically designed for use with phones and tablets. An alarm system is also an efficient discouraging factor for burglars who might be targeting your home. With a Home Security System in Nashville, you home will have continuous protection, something you as a homeowner are unable to do around the clock.

Facts:

  • Most burglars enter through the front door
  • 65% of burglaries happen between 6.00 am and 6.00pm
  • A burglar will target the master bedroom first.
  • A burglary could happen to you whether you live in the city or the suburbs.

It is your duty to safeguard your home and your family and it should be your number one concern whether you are at home or away.

Protect Your Home from Burglaries with Nashville Alarm Systems

In the month of July 2015, over a course of just four days, five houses were broken into by burglars in the Memphis, Tennessee midtown area. This has obviously shaken the sense of security and safety of residents in the area. “I feel so violated”, is what one of the burglary victims said.

That sense of violation is perhaps at the heart of what everyone feels after their house has been burglarized. In this particular chain of burglaries (which Memphis police have yet to pronounce as being related), there have been repeated burglaries in certain houses. While in one house, it was the second successful burglary attempt; in another it was the third.

The valuables lost in a burglary may be precious heirloom or important documents. It may be something that may not have monetary value but which is high in sentimental value. It could also be something you have worked hard for or are still paying through your credit card for. In this particular chain of burglaries, some of the things that were stolen were a passport, two flat screen TVs, $500 cash, a handgun, water heater, etc.

In one of the houses that was broken into, several items were out of place, but nothing was stolen. This was because the homeowner was alerted by the alarm system. Although the burglar got away, this particular homeowner did not have to deal with the loss of any valuables.

With state-of-the art technology, it is not difficult to safeguard your home and belongings from criminals who will not stop from anything. Why open yourself up to such insecurity and danger?

A simple home security system can even mean the difference between life and death. With the increasing number of burglaries in Nashville that go wrong, where the homeowner gets shot or injured, sometimes even fatally, the price of not having a home alarm system is too high to pay.

Increase in Violent Crimes Make Nashville Alarm Systems Indispensable

by Flex Alarms

The latest crime report released by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation shows a concerning increase in the number of aggravated assaults in 2014, compared to previous years. The Police Chief and County Sheriff have identified several gangs as being behind this sharp increase in violent crime and are taking steps to target the problem. So what can you, as a homeowner, do to safeguard your family, your property, and yourself from this rise in violent crime?

When you consider the statistics that state that crimes against people and property increased by nearly 1000 cases in the year 2014, you know it is time that you took steps to ensure your security and that of your family. While the law enforcement agencies are doing their job meticulously, wise homeowners know that there are things they can do too to keep themselves safe from criminal elements.

The first and most effective step would be to invest in a Nashville alarm system. It has been proven, on numerous occasions, that home security systems in Nashville not only help deter burglars and other criminals, but also make them abandon their plans of rampaging through a home.

Alarm systems can even save you precious money on your homeowner’s insurance, with most companies offering a reduction of up to 12% for homes that have home security systems in Nashville. All you need is an alarm permit (for some counties) and a cellular data plan or Internet connection. The system can be connected to your phone or tablet, making you alert and ready at any time to call the police should your home be broken into.

Home security systems can give you the peace of mind that your family is safe even when you are not around to ensure that they are. This is particularly helpful for those who have elderly parents or grandparents who are living independently. With the rising cases of burglaries and robberies of elderly people in their own homes, even at gunpoint, having a home security system should be a matter of necessity for homes where there are elderly people staying.

Home security systems are also absolutely essential if you have children who will be home alone for some time before you get home from work. There have been countless instances of burglars breaking into a home in broad daylight when nobody but a child (or children) were present. This is a scary situation for any child. While some children had the presence of mind to hide in a closet or under the bed and phone their parents during this frightening scenario, having a home security system can instantly alert the parents or law enforcement agencies and protect children from any harm.

Based on data collected in the last 14 years, Nashville crime statistics report an overall declining trend in crime, with violent crime decreasing as well as property crime decreasing. Having this in mind, the crime rate in Nashville for this year is expected to be lower than 3 years ago, when it was the highest recorded. The city violent crime rate for Nashville in that year was higher than the national violent crime rate,  214.31% higher, to be more precise, and the city property crime rate in Nashville was 47.28% higher than the national property crime rate. As far as the local statistic is concerned, in 2012 the city violent crime rate in Nashville was 88.95% higher than the violent crime rate in Tennessee, while the city property crime rate in Nashville was 24.9% higher than the property crime rate in Tennessee.  According to statistics from the cityrating.com, the number of burglaries in Nashville, from the January till now, was  6531.

Even though the predicted crime rate is expected to decrease, we have to notice that the crime, and that includes the home break-ins, is on a quite high level, and even if the rate of these crimes goes down, Nashville homeowners will still have to consider the installation of a security alarm system if they want their families to stay safe.

by Flex Alarms

Innovative Approach Gives Users Lower Costs & More Features

NASHVILLE, Tenn., (July 8, 2015) – Two longtime Nashville entrepreneurs, Jim

Anderson and Kevin Hughart, have bonded together to form FlexAlarms, an innovative

alarm security company that allows customers to “unbundle” their equipment and services,

resulting in lower costs. Beyond the lower cost approach, Flex is also focused on providing

high-tech system control from smartphones and helping consumers to cut the cord from

their old technology landline phones.

“The old model in alarm security was to wrap the cost of the equipment into the

monthly payment and drive that payment out as far into the future as possible,” said Jim

Anderson, FlexAlarms CEO. “That has been done for literally decades now, and we feel the

time has come for a new approach to give customers better flexibility and lower costs.” In

addition to lowered monthly fees, the company is also focused on better convenience by

putting system control on smartphones and also controlling doors, lights and thermostats.

FlexAlarms launched June 15th and is already serving customers across Nashville

and Middle Tennessee.
