New Jersey Home and Business Security Review

According to FBI Uniform Crime Reporting, in New Jersey there were 37, 482 Burglaries in 2007. Compared to 2006, that represents a small decrease. In 2006, burglaries numbered 39,433.

However, anecdotal evidence indicates that with the recession, crime has gone up in 2008. Formerly, many break-ins were so-called “snatch and grab” burglaries. That is to say, a perpetrator, motivated by the need for money to buy drugs, would break in and take what they could. Unfortunately, in the current economic climate, law enforcement officers indicate that many burglaries are committed by people who lost jobs, and are out of work. This creates a situation in that the would be burglar does not look like a strung out dope addict. He or she could be your neighbor.

One of the more poignant episodes occurred in Wyckoff, NJ this April. The home had its door kicked in and every room was ransacked. The home had an alarm system, but it was not activated.

Less Expensive Security Alarm Systems are frequently installed by the consumers in New Jersey households.

Since the systems are wireless, they are easy to install and do not require an expensive technician to come to your home. Top name companies have designed easy to install systems for the do-it-yourself homeowner. Many of these systems are designed and manufactured by GE.

The systems are primarily wireless systems, and the door and window contacts are easy to install. Make sure that the company that sells you this type of product can offer a company to monitor your system once you install it.

A reliable do-it-yourself alarm system provider should have a toll free number to answer your questions.
