Why should you protect your home and family with a security system from DHS Security?
Here's what the experts have to say.

• Homes without security systems are about 3 times more likely to be broken into than homes with security systems. (Actual statistic ranges from 2.3 times to 3.1 times, depending on the value of the home.) [ source 1 ]
• One burglary occurs approximately every 12 seconds. [ source 2 ]
• One in four homes are burglarized annually. [ source 2 ]
• The alarm, by itself, reduces the probability of burglary to about 30% of what it is without any form of security precaution. [ source 3 ]  
• If we are limited to one precautionary measure, there is no doubt that the alarm by itself is more effective than any other single protective measure, and also more effective than two protective measures combined if one of them is not an alarm.  ["Protective measures" are defined as: deterrent measures - to create the illusion that someone is home; managerial measures - asking the police/neighbors to check on your house; preventative measures - dead-bolt locks, etc., and detection measures - transmitting a signal that a burglary attempt or actual entry has occurred.]  [ source 3 ]
• The superiority of the alarm as a single measure of protection is consistent across all profiles of residential units. (i.e., in expensive and inexpensive homes, in isolated and non-isolated residential units, and whether the residence is close to or remote from a highway exit).  [ source 3 ]
• 85% of police chiefs surveyed say they have encouraged the installation of electronic security systems. [ source 4 ]
