RESIDENTIAL SECURITY, PROTECTING YOUR FAMILY AND HOME
                  YOUR SECURITY IS OUR PASSION!

Your home is your castle...or is it? Is your home really safe once you leave for work
or school? Your home is considered a sanctuary where you should feel safe. Your
home is the only environment where you have control over who can get close to you
or your family. Protecting your home and family from criminal intrusion should be
high on your list of priorities. This is where we at Circle Security Solutions can help
you!

By far, the most common threat to our home is burglary. According to the FBI, a
burglary occurs somewhere in the United States every 15.4 seconds. By definition,
the crime of burglary is a non-confrontational property crime that occurs when we
are not at home. However, becoming a burglary victim can leave a family feeling
vulnerable and violated. To avoid becoming a burglary victim, it is important to first
gain an understanding of who commits them and why.

The majority of home and apartment burglaries occur during the daytime when most
people are away at work or school. The summer months of July and August have
the most burglaries with February having the fewest crimes. Burglaries are
committed most often by young males under 25 years of age looking for items that
are small, expensive, and can easily be converted to cash. Favorite items are cash,
jewelry, guns, watches, laptop computers,  video players, CDs and other small
electronic devices are high on the list. Quick cash is needed for living expenses and
drugs. Statistics tell us that 70% of the burglars use some amount of force to enter a
dwelling, but their preference is to gain easy access through an open door or
window. Ordinary household tools like screwdrivers, channel-lock pliers, small pry
bars, and small hammers are most often used by burglars. Burglars continue to
flourish because police can only clear about 13% of all reported burglaries and
rarely catch the thief in the act.

Although home burglaries may seem random in occurrence, they actually involve a
selection process. The burglar's selection process is simple. Choose an unoccupied
home with the easiest access, the greatest amount of cover, and with the best
escape routes. What follows is a list of suggestions to minimize your risk by making
your home unattractive to potential burglars.
                                           Alarm Systems

Alarm systems definitely have a place in a home security plan and are effective, if used and
installed properly. The reason why alarms systems deter burglaries is because they increase
the potential and fear of being caught and arrested by the police. The deterrent value comes
from the alarm company lawn sign and from the alarm decals on the windows. Home and
apartment burglars will usually bypass a property with visible alarm signs and will go to
another property without such a sign. Some people, with alarm systems, feel that these signs
and decals are unsightly and will not display them. The risk here is that an uninformed
burglar might break a window or door and grab a few quick items before the police can
respond.

Alarm systems need to be properly installed and maintained by a LICENSED and INSURED
Company. Alarm systems can monitor for fire as well as burglary. All systems should have an
audible horn or bell to be effective in case someone does break in. However, these audible
alarms should be programmed to reset automatically after one or two minutes. The criminal
got the message and will be long gone but your neighbors will have to listen to the alarm bell,
sometimes for hours, until it is shut off. If you use a central station to monitor your alarm,
make sure your response call list is up to date.
