Whether you live closer to Woodall Mountain than Gulf of Mexico, if you prefer the summer highs of 92 degrees or the winter lows of 34, you call Mississippi home along with 2,935,295 other Mississippians. This state has a lot to offer:
Combining FBI crime statistics and census data for Mississippi, the odds of your home being targeted for a home invasion this year are about 1 in 97.1, 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 when you get ADT in Mississippi to help protect your family, your chances are closer to 1 in 292.2, 34
There are over 2,537 property crimes perpetrated in Mississippi every month, on average. This is actually 51% less than the national average. However, break-ins and other MS property crimes did see an increase from 29,162 in 2009 to 30,444 in 2010. 2
90% of convicted burglars, reported the U.S. Department of Justice, stated they preferred to target homes that did not have security systems.4 ADT Mississippi provides affordable, easy to use home security solutions that help prevent break-ins.
Mississippi currently has 9.50% unemployment; and this rate has been about the same for a few years.1 That means there are over 278,853 people in Mississippi who lack a stable source of income.1 Researchers at UC Berkeley conducted a study and found that when unemployment rises, so does property crime. So the annual number of break-ins will most likely hold steady.5
In Mississippi, the average loss from a break-in is $1,188 , resulting in approximately $1,528,345 of losses sustained by Mississippians each year2. For what you could lose in a single break-in, you can help protect your home for more than three years of ADT alarm monitoring.1
As many as 47% of burglaries in Mississippi take place during the day when homeowners are at work.2 Burglars tend to take between 8-10 minutes inside a home, while police take more than 11 minutes in 62% of burglaries, to get to a home, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Helping ensure the fastest possible response is why monitored home security is so helpful.2
No matter the time of day, ADT Mississippi is ready to respond, thanks to 24/7 alarm monitoring. Interconnected ADT Customer Monitoring Centers respond to 93,000 alarms every day. These monitoring centers are interconnected and interface with 38,000 local response services, to help ensure the fastest response possible.
Getting an ADT monitored security system not only helps protect you from break-ins, but ADT systems provide additional safety features as well.
Ground seepage can be an issue for many Mississippi homes, when a lot of rain falls quickly. When this happens, 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 fire departments responded to 1.3 million fires in 2010, averaging 2-3 every minute. More than 80% of these fires were in residential structures, and combined they caused $7.1 billion in property damage. There are only 767 fire departments in Mississippi, which averages out to 1 for every 1,440 households.8
Mississippi only had 74 fire-caused deaths in 2010. However, the annual death rate by fire is still above the national average according to the U.S. Fire Administration.6
With smoke detectors as part of your ADT monitored home security system, if temperatures spike or smoke appears, these sensors will sound an alarm. ADT monitoring professionals can alert the local fire authorities as you evacuate, if the situation warrants.
