Glendale Home Security

As a city of 197,176 people, Glendale ranks as the 18th largest city in California and the 111th largest city in the United States. This figure excludes nearby Los Angeles and its suburbs.  Glendale is a growing city made up of several demographic groups. 

Over the past couple of years, Glendale has seen an increasing amount of property crime. Drawn from figures reported in the 2008 FBI Uniform Crime Reports, it has been determined that a property crime took place in Glendale approximately every two hours. Larceny and burglary are also primary concerns for Glendale home security. In 2008, a burglary occurred about every 12 hours in the city, not including home invasions carried out for other alarming purposes like assault, rape, murder or arson.
