Washington unemployment is currently at 8.20% and this number has been consistent for a few years.1 That means there are over 540,994 people in Washington 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 Washington, the average burglar steals $1,692 from each break-in, resulting in approximately $6,253,669 stolen from Washingtonians each year2. For what you could lose in a single break-in, you can help protect your home for more than three years, or 26,000 hours, of continuous ADT alarm monitoring.1
Contrary to popular belief, home invasions are more likely during the day and once inside they will spend between 8-11 minutes. In fact, 44% of reported burglaries in Washington took place in broad daylight.2 During the day, it takes local law enforcement 11 minutes to an hour to respond in 47% of home invasions. That can give robbers, who spend between 8 - 11 minutes in a home, enough time to get in and out before they arrive.2
ADT alarm monitoring can function at any hour of the day. 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.

Many Washingtonians live in beautiful older homes. If you live in one built more than 30 years ago, you must know older water pipes can sometimes burst if temperatures dip below freezing . With flood and temperature sensors, you can be alerted to the presence of moisture or significant drops in temperatures.
