(Newswire.net — March 6, 2018) — According to CrimeReports, property crimes in Tucson, AZ have increased. During the last 3 months (December, January and February), Crime Reports show 2080 offences of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. This is 6.7% more that in the previous three months period (1942 records for the months of September – November last year). Police officers are overwhelmed with the situation. The County Sheriff’s Department says, “It’s almost impossible to respond to such a large area in such a short period of time. By the time authorities arrive, the burglars are long gone. It’s gotten so bad, residents are literally preparing for the worst.
Home security companies in Tucson are responding to the threat by offering a variety of systems and services to protect residents from burglary. To make measures as efficient as possible, residents are asked to run a self-assessment test to spot the weakest spots of their homes.
Some of the questions residents should ask themselves before consulting a home security service are:
What are the most likely scenarios of a burglary?
What are the weakest spots of your property?
Are you concerned about the safety of your children?
Do you have valuable electronics equipment, a collection of art or jewellery at home?
Has there been a home invasion in the neighbourhood?
Is the street dark at night or well lit?
Do you participate in a neighbourhood watch program?
Having answered these questions, residents will be well prepared to have a discussion with a home security professional.
Every home is different, hence the most effective measures to be taken depend on the answers to the questions above and the particular situation at hand. Home security professionals in Tucson will address the most urgent needs of their clients first by choosing one of the following components:
– Gate and fence alarms
– Window and glass breaking alarms
– Yard activity monitoring
– Indoor motion detection and video surveillance
– Outdoor video surveillance
