Fresno Home Security

Ranking as the fifth largest city in California and the 35th largest city in the United States, Fresno is home to a whopping 467, 050 people. This number excludes the populations of nearby cities, including Clovis, Madera and Visalia. As a growing city, it represents a large variety in terms of demographics, social groups and networks.

As a growing city, Fresno is also seeing a growing rate of crime. The majority of which are property crimes, larceny and burglary. In 2008, the FBI reported in its Uniform Crime Reports that an incidence of property crime was taking place at the rate of once every 24 minutes. It also indicated that a burglary was taking place every two hours. These numbers should alert homeowners of the area to then consider upping their efforts to increase their own Fresno home security.

Fresno	Total Violent Crimes	Murder & non-negligent manslaughter	Robbery	Aggravated assault	Total Property Crimes	Burglary	Larceny-theft	Motor vehicle theft
# of Incidents	N/A	40	984	1,678	22,056	4,173	14,106	3,777
vs. U.S. Average per capita	N/A	98% Higher	104% Higher	72% Higher	97% Higher	44% Higher	42% Higher	330% Higher

As indicated by the above table, almost all major crimes are occurring at a substantial rate higher than the national average in Fresno. Particularly, look at property crimes, which occur 97 percent more than the national average. Residents can control these rates through advanced security systems in their homes.

These systems are easy to obtain. Homeowners merely have to assess their needs — whether it is for wireless alarms or advanced monitoring and sensor technology — and install the system themselves or hire a trained professional. This will not only result in the installation of a prime security system, it will also result in an installed sense of security for the homeowner and their family.

Undergoing this process also offers the additional benefit of supplying the homeowner with substantial savings through the lowering of home insurance premiums.

Make Fresno home security a priority. It will ensure that you and your family will feel safe in your home.
