Tucson Home Security

Tucson, Arizona, is a popular city that is home to approximately 541,811 citizens. This figure makes it the 32nd largest city in the United States and the second largest city in Arizona, outranked only by Phoenix.  This population number excludes nearby cities of Glendale, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa and Chandler.

As an ever-expanding city, it is also subject to increasing crime rates. In fact, according to the 2008 FBI Uniform Crime Reports, an incident of robbery occurred approximately every six hours in Tucson.  Additionally, the amount of burglary is of great concern in the city.  In 2008, in Tucson alone, a burglary took place every 1.5 hours.  This data doesn’t include home invasions perpetrated with the express purpose of committing other crimes such as arson, assault, rape or murder.

Tucson	Total Violent Crimes	Murder & non-negligent manslaughter	Forcible Rape	Robbery	Aggravated assault	Burglary	Motor vehicle theft
# of Incidents	N/A	65	246	1,451	2,490	5,157	5,808
vs. U.S. Avg (per capita)	N/A	74% Higher	107% Higher	77%   Higher	95% Higher	64% Higher	252% Higher

As the data clearly demonstrates, rape, assault, motor vehicle theft and all the other listed crimes occur at a rate that far exceeds the national average. This should be cause for alarm for citizens who have not considered their Tucson home security.

Use the exposure to these figures as a push to amp up the security on your home. The last thing you want to do is leave your family, your belongings and your home vulnerable to invasion. One easy way to avoid this situation all together is to install a home security system.

Security systems these days come armed with several elements of equipment that will ensure your family is as safe as can be. Many times you will have the option of installing any number of wireless monitoring devices, sensors and alarms. Burglars know they stand very little chance against this advanced technology, so installing one of these systems will aid in deterring them from even trying.

Don’t leave your family’s safety up to chance. Install a security system today and ensure it.
