how to protect your homeIt is estimated that home burglaries happen every 13 seconds in the United States (according to the FBI UCI report 2019) and house alarms are designed to alert the authorities only after your home is violated. Depending on where you reside the police may take as long as ten minutes to respond.

You need to take a proactive approach to protecting yourself and your most valuable possessions:
1st: Lock your doors and windows when you're away from home;
2nd: Electronic alarm system set to expel audible alarm when breach is made;
3rd: Suburban roving patrol to deter criminals, trespassers and violators from entering your property.
Most criminal activity are crimes of opportunity, however residential burglaries are NOT. Criminals who conduct this type of felony methodically canvass the neighborhood, watch the area for a period of time, monitor the comings and goings of you, your neighbors and the police. They look for signs that a home is vacant: newspapers on the door step; mail jammed into the mailbox and even the trash barrels not on the curb on trash day. The criminals will park and wait to see if the neighbors call 911 or even give them a second look. They monitor police scanners and listen for the police call. Once the call is dispatched they're gone before the police have a chance to respond. Suburban Security Guards will monitor all suspicious people and vehicles during approach/departure and while they are on your property. Our guards will report their observations to the police thereby protecting you and your property.
