0.08% of alarm activations result in an arrest
6% of all law enforcement calls are for false alarms.
This wasn’t in the report, alarms don’t bite.
In most areas of our lives, technology makes it better, in this case, technology is no match for the century old home protection recipe of a dog and a shotgun.
