No matter if you live near Atlantic Ocean, on top of Ebright Azimut, if you prefer the summer highs of 86 degrees or the winter lows of 25, you call Delaware home along with 881,438 other Delawareans. This state has a lot to offer:
According to statistics reported by the FBI and the most recent census, your home has a 1 in 119 chance of experiencing a break-in this year.1, 2 Fortunately, research has shown that your home is as much as 3 times less likely to be targeted with a home security system.3 So when you get ADT in Delaware to help protect your family, you lower your chances of being burglarized to approximately 1 in 358.2, 34
There are over 626 property crimes perpetrated in Delaware every month. The good news is that this is 82% less than the national average. However, break-ins and other DE property crimes increased annually by 583 in 2010. 2
ADT Delaware helps prevent break-ins by helping deter would-be burglars. The U.S. Department of Justice reported that 9 out of 10 burglars avoided homes protected by security systems4.
Delaware currently has 7.00% unemployment; and this rate has been about the same for a few years.1 There are over 61,700 people in Delaware without a reliable income.1 Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have found that when unemployment rises, so does property crime. So it is unlikely that the number of break-ins will decrease anytime soon.5
Each burglary in Delaware results in stolen goods equaling $2,000. With approximately 517 break-ins last year, burglary in the The Diamond State is a $1,034,337 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 adds up to approximately 26,000 hours of professional monitoring protection.1
According to local data, 64% of burglaries in Delaware take place during the day when most people are at work.2 Burglars tend to spend some time in a home, between 8-10 minutes, while police take more than 11 minutes in 62% of burglaries, to get to a home. Because of this disparity, it is important to help ensure the fastest possible response time.2
ADT Customer Monitoring Centers are staffed and ready to respond to alarms, no matter the time of day. ADT monitoring professionals are in contact with 38,000 local response agencies, which allows them to respond to more than 93,000 alarms daily.
In addition to helping prevent burglaries, ADT monitored security systems can offer early detection of flooding or fires.
Ground seepage can be an issue for many Delaware homes, due to low elevation and high precipitation. Ground seepage most often occurs after there has been a lot of rainfall in a short amount of time. When an area experiences a great deal of rain, the water table rises as the water spreads out through the permeable rocks and flooding can occur. ADT flood sensors can alert you when water is detected in your home, helping you avoid costly damage.
The National Fire Protection Association reported that in 2010 U.S. fire departments responded to 1.3 million fires, averaging 2-3 every minute. Fires caused $7.1 billion in property loss, with more than 80% occurring in residential properties. Delaware has 61 fire departments, or 1 for every 5,573 households.8
In 2010, there were only 9 fire related deaths in Delaware. 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
Smoke and heat detectors from ADT can help detect large temperature spikes or if there is smoke present in your home. If the situation requires ADT monitoring professionals can automatically alert the fire department in your area as you evacuate your home.
