An FBI statistical report of the number of crimes in each state in the United States in 2012, put Tennessee at the top of the list with 643.6 violent crimes per 100,000 people. These violent crimes range from burglary, property crime, larceny-theft to forcible rape and aggravated assault. While you may look at the statistics and think that does not seem to be much and that you will never be a victim of a burglary or other crime, chances are that each and every victim of a violent crime also thought that way before it happened. Why take chances?
A second report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics states that 28 homes out of 1000 get burglarized every year in the United States. For some reason, burglaries seem to peak during the summer season.
In the month of July 2015, the normally peaceful Germantown made news with a spate of crimes, ranging from burglaries to robberies at gunpoint. An elderly couple was robbed at gunpoint inside their own home in the month of January. In a similar incident, but this time inside a gated community, an elderly couple was robbed of their precious jewelry and hard-earned money. In another case, a burglary was reported by a 13-year-old girl who happened to be home when two burglars broke in. She had the presence of mind to hide in the closet and call her dad on the phone. Police are investigating all these cases.
It is no wonder that the news of all this has led to a sharp increase in the sales of alarm systems. Nobody wants to feel unsafe inside their own home. Nobody should feel insecure about leaving their home and going out for work, fun, and leisure. A Home security system can give you much needed peace of mind, whether you are sleeping at home at night or away from home during the day.
While the law enforcement agencies are diligently doing their duty, homeowners would be helping them make our city safer by installing a Nashville alarm system in their homes. Statistics show that home security systems can deter burglars and other criminals from entering homes. Even if they do enter, Nashville alarm systems can make them drop their plans and leave without taking any of your valuables. Home security systems can also help the police apprehend the culprits before they get very far, as the alarms will go off and notify whoever you have listed.
Home security systems are easy to install and operate. With state-of-the-art technology that enables the system to get connected to your phone or tablet, either to your cellular data plan or the Internet, you can be sure of having your home under 24-hour surveillance no matter where you are. With smart features like pet immune motion detectors, smoke detectors, key fob, etc., you are just one step away from protecting your home from criminal minds.
