2009-05-10 20:05:12 - Canada Home Security offers citizens protection from residential crime.

Canada is facing a serious crime problem, fueled in part by tough economic times, and the world’s top provider of alarm systems has an offer to help homeowners keep themselves safe.

Canada Home Security is now offering Ontario residents free ADT home security systems and installation to those who sign up for 24-hour monitoring service. Canada Home Security is Ontario’s authorized dealer of ADT Security Systems, Inc., the world leader among home security companies.

Feeling safe and having home security is important. That is why the priority of Ontario ADT is to provide all cities with home and business security services.

Difficult economic times lead to an increase in property crimes. Ontario residents are not immune.

Despite having dipped since the 90s, Toronto’s recent

number of reported break-ins reached 230,000 with six out of ten being residential. A decline in the number of break-ins is credited to the increase in homeowners buying home security devices from 1999 to 2005, according to the Canada’s General Social Survey.

In 2007, more than 145,000 motor vehicle thefts and almost 30,000 robberies in Toronto. The majority of the robberies happened in conjunction with breaking-and-entering.

Canada crime rates are high when compared to other industrialized countries. The United Nations International Crime and Victims Survey of 17 industrialized countries placed Canada in the high risk group for violent crime worse even than the United States.

It seems crime is an everyday part of Ontario cities, but it doesn’t have to be for every homeowner.

There are steps that Ontario homeowners can take to keep their family and their property safe with home alarms. Regardless of whether one lives in the fast-paced urban environment of downtown Toronto or the sprawling surrounding suburbs, everyone wants to feel safe in and around the home.

Canada Home Security provides alarm services for cities across Ontario, including Barrie, Brampton, London, Markham, Mississauga, Newmarket, Niagara, Ottawa, Richmond, Saint Catharine’s, Toronto, Vaughn, Windsor.
