Your home has a 1 in 170 chance of being broken into this year, according to FBI and census data.1, 2 The good news is you can do something about it. Research suggests that homes with alarm systems are up to 3 times less likely to be targeted by burglars. 4
Even though annual break-ins in Illinois decreased from 77,850 in 2009 to 75,399 in 2010, every month there are still more than 6,283 break-ins reported by Illinoisans. And this is still 89% higher than national property crime averages.2
90% of convicted burglars, reported the U.S. Department of Justice, said they targeted homes that did not have security systems.4 ADT Illinois provides affordable, easy to use home security solutions that help prevent break-ins.
Illinois unemployment is currently at 9.10% and this rate has been about the same for a few years.1 That means there are over 1,178,199 people in Illinois lacking a stable income.1 Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have found that when unemployment rises, so does property crime. So the annual number of break-ins will most likely hold steady.5
With approximately 140 IL break-ins happening each year, and each robbery resulting in $1,202 of loss, burglary costs Illinois homeowners $168,413 annually.1 You can get 3 years of ADT alarm monitoring for the same amount you stand to lose in a single burglary.1
Daytime break-ins occur more frequently than nighttime robberies. In Illinois, as many as 50% of burglaries are perpetrated in broad daylight.2 According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the average law enforcement response time in 62% of burglaries is over 11 minutes, while a burglar typically only spends 8 minutes. 2
Get fast, timely response at any hour of the day from ADT alarm monitoring. ADT uses interconnected Customer Monitoring Centers, so no matter what, every one of the 93,000 daily alarms gets a response. These CMCs interface with more than 38,000 law enforcement, medical and fire agencies across the country, to help assure the fastest possible response in an emergency.
ADT monitoring is not only helpful in case of break-ins, or helping prevent them, but it is also useful in case of fires or floods in your home.
Winters in Illinois can get coldand when the temperatures drop, pipes can freeze. Burst pipes cause significant and costly water damage. When you add temperature sensors to your ADT monitored security system, they will tell you when temperatures dip below freezing.
The National Fire Protection Association reported that fire departments responded to 1.3 million fires in 2010, averaging 2-3 every minute. Fires caused $7.1 billion in property loss, with more than 80% occurring in residential properties. There are only 1,240 fire departments in Illinois, or 1 for every 3,860 households.8
Even though Illinois has a fire death rate below the national average, in 2010 there were still 140 fire fatalities, according to the U.S. Fire Administration.6
Get ADT heat and smoke detectors for early warnings when temperatures in your home spike, or when smoke is detected. When either of these are detected, the alarm will sound and ADT monitoring professionals will respond. If needs be they will also contact the local authorities on your behalf.
