    More Than Just Break-Ins

    We all know that having a security system protects your home and family from intruders. In fact, statistics tell us that homes with a monitored security system are 3-times less likely to be broken into. But having a monitored security system provides so much more protection than just break-ins.

    Tackling Burglary

    Ours alarm systems provide additional protection for your family and home by tying your Smoke Detectors into the alarm panel. This means that each specific smoke detector becomes its own zone, and in the event of an alarm, we are able to determine precisely which device has triggered the alarm. Imagine the peace of mind you’ll have every time you leave the house knowing your smoke detectors are being monitored as well.

    It is now a law in Ontario that Carbon Monoxide Detectors are installed on each floor of homes with gas burning appliances or attached garages. Carbon Monoxide is known as the “Silent Killer” because it is a gas that you cannot smell. Similar to a smoke detector, each Carbon Monoxide detector can be monitored as its own zone through your security system.

    Winter Break & Enters

    A recent article on Windsorite.ca cites LaSalle police warning the public how easy you can become the victim of a break simply because of the weather.

    According to the article, Police are putting out a warning to homeowners who could very easily be the victims of break and enters when it snows.

    They report a spike in residential Break & Enter’s in the weeks leading up to Christmas last year. LaSalle Police say they even figured out just what types of homes criminals were targeting.

    “A group of individuals were identified, located, and subsequently charged with numerous B&E’s in the LaSalle/Windsor area last year,” says Constable Jamie Nestor. “In speaking with them post arrest, we learned…they would drive through neighborhoods a couple days after a snowfall and look for an absence of traffic to and from a residence (ie. foot prints, tire tracks).”

    Nestor says crooks would then knock on the door. No answer? Break in.

    “It’s that simple,” says Nestor.

    “If you’re going out of town, tell a family member, friend, or trusted neighbor to do one small favour for you. Have them drive up and down your driveway a few times after a snowfall and perhaps walk up to the front door to check for mail or papers. A couple of minutes can prevent a lot of misery.”
