Santa Ana Home Security

Santa Ana is the 54th largest city in the United States, just one step ahead of Anaheim. With a population of 339,674, made up primarily of young Hispanic families, Santa Ana is the ninth largest city in California.

In this decent-sized city, the FBI Uniform Crime Report for 2008 shows that robbery and burglary are on the rise, while property crimes occur more than any other. Santa Ana residents are victim to robbery every 10 and a half hours. Their homes are burglarized approximately every eight hours, and somebody falls victim to property crimes every one hour and 15 minutes. If you’re a homeowner in this city, these numbers should tell you that your Santa Ana home security is being threatened on a constant basis.

Santa Ana	Total Violent Crimes	Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter	Robbery	Aggravated assault	Total Property Crimes	Burglary	Larceny-theft	Motor vehicle theft
Incidents	n/a	30	842	788	6,980	1,097	4,348	1,535
vs. U.S. Avg (per capita)	n/a	118% Higher	46% Higher	46% Lower	4% Lower	31% Lower	19% Lower	97% Higher

While the numbers above indicate that many crimes take place at a lower rate than that national average, it doesn’t mean that Santa Ana home security is not at risk. Robbery is still occurring at a rate that’s 46 percent higher than the national average, and there are still a high number of burglaries and property crimes.

For the protection of your family, it is critical that you review and upgrade your security system. And, if you don’t yet have one, now may be the time to consider it. With a wide variety of systems available — including sophisticated wireless alarms, high-tech cameras and sensors — you can have your house properly guarded in very little time. Most systems you can even install yourself — unless you’d rather have a trained professional do it for you.

You can also consider talking to the Santa Ana Police, who will be able to offer you additional tips about keeping your home and neighborhood safe.

There is every reason for you to prioritize the safety of your home and children.
