22% of burglaries in Alabama take place during the day, when homeowners are at work.2 Robbers spend an average of 8 minutes inside a home, while it takes law enforcement more than 11 minutes to respond in 62% of burglaries. Even with a response between 5 and 10 minutes in 21% of burglaries, that still means the burglar has a good chance of getting in and out, unhindered. Because of this disparity, it is important to help ensure the fastest possible response time.2
