The odds of your home being broken into this year are about 1 in 171, according to FBI and census data.1, 2 The good news is you can help improve your odds.

So by calling ADT to get additional protection for your home, your chances are more like 1 in 515.4
More than 510 property crimes take place in Rhode Island every month. The good news is that this is 85% less than the national average. However, break-ins and other RI property crimes did see an increase from 5,749 in 2009 to 6,121 in 2010. 2
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 9 out of 10 convicted burglars said they looked for homes without security systems.4 Protect Your Home Rhode Island provides security services that are affordable, easy to use and will help you protect your home.
The unemployment rate in Rhode Island is 11.00%; and this rate has been about the same for a few years.1 There are over 115,997 people in Rhode Island who lack a stable source of 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
With approximately 316 RI break-ins and an average loss of $1,308 per break-in, burglary costs Rhode Island $413,439 annually.1 You can get 3 years of 24/7 professional monitoring service from ADT for what you stand to lose in a single burglary.1
Many people assume most break-ins happen at night, but in 2009 over 66% of reported burglaries in Rhode Island happened in the middle of the day.2 In the majority of burglaries, 62%, police took more than 11 minutes to respond, while the typical burglar spends about 8-12 minutes in a home once inside, giving burglars more than enough time to get in and out.2
No matter the time of day ADT Customer Monitoring Centers are prepared to respond. ADT monitoring professionals are in contact with 38,000 local response agencies, which allows them to respond to more than 93,000 alarms daily.
ADT in Rhode Island also helps protect your home by detecting smoke and water leakage early on.
Ground seepage can be an issue for many Rhode Island 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 monitored 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, which is an average of 1 every 24 seconds. More than 80% of these fires were in residential structures, and combined they caused $7.1 billion in property damage. There are only 79 fire departments in Rhode Island, or 1 for every 5,219 households.8
In 2010, there were only 5 fire related deaths in Rhode Island, which is comfortably below the national average.6 Still, according to a 2009 report from the National Fire Protection Association, a household can expect as many as 5 fires in an average lifetime.7
When you have ADT heat and smoke detectors, if there is a large spike in temperature or if smoke is detected, these sensors will sound an alarm. ADT monitoring professionals can alert the local fire authorities as you evacuate, if the situation warrants.
