An article in Adelaide’s Advertiser newspaper caught my eye recently. It was entitled Police: Beware of crime rise as recession bites. The article contained some disturbing information:

SA Police and criminologists are on alert for a possible rise in street and white-collar crime, triggered by the global economic meltdown.

Commissioner Mal Hyde says economic uncertainty makes this “a risky time” for an upsurge in crime.

“People will be in what they might feel are desperate circumstances because of their financial position.

“In those circumstances, they might look to ways to get themselves out of it.

“In tight and desperate economic circumstances, they may be inclined to make decisions they otherwise wouldn’t. So, it is a bit of a risky time.”

The causes of the global economic meltdown are outside our control. However, we can control some of the ways in which we’re exposed to its effects – effects like increasing numbers of burglaries and thefts.

Back-to-base monitored alarms offer you and your family peace of mind at a time when crime is on the increase, and at Chief Security we can offer domestic monitoring for as little as $5.00 per week. That’s less than a dollar per day for the knowledge that your home and your family are protected.

Give us a call today on (08) 8443 9877 or send us an email at info@chiefsecurity.com.au and talk to us about your home security requirements. We’re here to help!
