Whether you live near Long Island Sound, on top of Mount Frissel, if you prefer the summer highs of 83 degrees or the winter lows of 18, you call Connecticut home. This state has a lot to offer:
Combining FBI crime statistics and census data for Connecticut, the odds of someone breaking into your home this year are about 1 in 235.1, 2 Fortunately, research has shown that your home is as much as 3 times less likely to experience a home invasion with an alarm system.3 So with Connecticut ADT monitoring, your chances are closer to 1 in 706.2, 34
There are over 1,264 property crimes reported in Connecticut every month, on average. This is actually 56% less than the national average. However, break-ins and other CT property crimes did see an increase from 15,073 in 2009 to 15,172 in 2010. 2
ADT in Connecticut helps prevent break-ins by helping deter would-be burglars. The U.S. Department of Justice reported that 9 out of 10 burglars targeted homes without security systems4.
Connecticut unemployment is currently at 7.80% and this rate has been about the same for a few years.1 There are over 273,943 people in Connecticut who lack a stable source of income.1 Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have found a direct correlation between unemployment and property crime. So it is unlikely that the number of break-ins will decrease anytime soon.5
Each burglary in Connecticut results in stolen goods equaling $1,806. With approximately 867 break-ins occurring each year, burglary here is a $1,566,150 dollar industry.2 You can get more than three years with ADT alarm monitoring for the same amount you stand to lose in a single home invasion. That's over 26,000 hours of around the clock monitoring.1
While it's not the popular opinion, your home is more likely to be broken into during the day than at night and once inside they will spend between 8-11 minutes. In fact, 50% of reported burglaries in Connecticut took place in broad daylight.2 Data from the U.S. Department of Justice reports that the average law enforcement response time in 62% of burglaries is over 11 minutes, which may give burglars, who spend an average of 8 minutes in a home, enough time to escape. 2
Get fast, timely response at any hour of the day from ADT alarm monitoring. ADT responds to more than 93,000 alarms every day, coming into their network of interconnected Customer Monitoring Centers. ADT helps protect your home by interfacing with 38,000 local law enforcement and response agencies.
Helping protect your home from potential break-ins is only part of what ADT in Connecticut can do. Home security systems can also help detect fires or flooding in your home.
Ground seepage can be an issue for many Connecticut homes, due to low elevation and high precipitation. Ground seepage most often occurs after a lot of rain falls quickly. When an area experiences a great deal of rain, the water table rises and flooding can occur. ADT monitored flood sensors can alert you when water is detected in your home, helping you avoid costly damage.
In Connecticut there are 261 fire departments in all. According to the Nation Fire Protection Association, on average a fire department will respond to 2-3 fires every minute, and fire agencies nationwide responded to more than 1.3 million fires anually, which caused over $7 billion in property damage.8
Connecticut only experienced 23 fire deaths in 2010. This number is well below the national average.6 Still, according to a 2009 report from the National Fire Protection Association, a single home can experience 5 fires in an average lifetime.7
Get ADT heat and smoke detectors for early warnings when temperatures in your home spike, or when smoke is detected. When these detectors go off ADT monitoring professionals will respond. If needs be they will also contact the local authorities on your behalf.
