Everywhere you look the effects of our declining economy can be seen. At the gas pump the prices soar to all-time highs. People are looking for ways to cut cost just to survive, but they are leaving out the key to survival in the process and that is security. Let me explain.
Not only are the costs of living increasing but also the layoff and unemployment rate. This month alone a large home improvement store is laying off 750 employees, 300 from its headquarters in Atlanta Georgia. A good friend of mine was one of those employees, a hardworking woman who needs to provide for her family. One way that she is saving money is to turn off services that she doesn’t feel are necessities including her home security service. Not two weeks after it was turned off her neighbor was a victim of home invasion and aggravated robbery.
The crime rates, especially home invasions, are predicted to drastically increase as more and more people steal to survive. Just this week I opened my local newspaper to read the headline, “Home Invasion Ends in Murder”, my heart was broke to read that the man died defending his wife and three children all so that the robber could get away with a gold chain.
I witnessed another example of the desperate measures people will through to survive just yesterday at my local grocery store when a man, who could have been my father, was tackled by security guards for shoplifting food. The man was nicely dressed and properly groomed. So I had to ask myself, how bad is the economy becoming and am I protected?
This type of behavior is everywhere and its time to protect our families and businesses with more than a lock on the door. Even old technology security systems would not stand up to the criminals of today. Home security technology has come a long way, now allowing for direct two-way connection to the central station. There is one Georgia alarm company, Alarm Services of Atlanta, which is now able to provide wireless two-way alarm systems. What does that mean for us? If the robber cuts the power and the phone lines, your family is still protected. I’ve recently invested in one of these systems and let me tell you…you can buy peace of mind. When I tuck my children in at night I know that I am directly connected to the help I need for any situation and that’s something that is priceless.
No matter how high the gas prices climb or how low the economy falls, make sure that your home, family, or business is protected.
