Why Are Alarms So Important?
Statistics show that significantly more break-ins happen during the last 2 weeks of the year, specifically the weeks leading up to Christmas and New Year’s, than any other time of the year. These two weeks provide some of the first really cold weather of the season and create empty streets with plentiful stock available in stores. Jewelry and other easily cashed valuables are in abundance and highly targeted. That means there’s more opportunity for burglars during the last two weeks of the year than at any other time.
Valuables and Opportunities Lead to Thievery
It’s that simple. Whenever you have a situation where retail businesses have an abnormally high amount of stock, such as during the holidays when running out of stock on a critical item can endanger an entire business, thieves will try to take advantage. Daytime theft tends to be pilferage and shoplifting. Thieves during the daytime steal items of opportunity. Nighttime creates opportunities for burglary, and this is where a comprehensive security system comes into play. Your next line of defense is an integrated security system from Sonitrol.
Sound-Based Verified Alarms From Sonitrol
Sound-based verified alarms are an essential tool in your security arsenal at night when uniformed security is easier for thieves to monitor and adjust to because of a lack of shoppers or clients. Any alarm system has the potential to scare away a burglar. According to studies, more than 50% of burglars will abandon a score when an alarm is heard. When police respond to alarms, most often the burglars are long-gone, having abandoned the score due to the sound. Sound-based verified alarms, monitored by professionals 24 hours a day, will send police when there is evidence of a break-in. This verification step allows law enforcement to optimize their work. Sonitrol is the industry leader in sound-based verified alarms.
