NOT EVERY BURGLARY INVOLVES VIOLENCE OR THE USE OF A WEAPON, BUT VICTIMS CAN FEEL TRAUMATIZED FOR MONTHS AFTER A BREAK-IN, NOT ONLY FOR THE LOSS OF THEIR PROPERTY BUT THE UNEASY FEELING THAT A CRIMINAL WAS IN THEIR HOME AND THE FEAR THAT HE OR SHE MAY RETURN. MOST CRIMINALS JUST WANT TO BREAK INTO YOUR HOME, FIND SOMETHING OF VALUE AND GET OUT AS QUICKLY AS THEY CAN, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK OF A MORE SERIOUS CRIME OR PERSONAL INJURY.

​

CRIMINALS WANT AN EASY TARGET WHERE THEY WON’T LIKELY BE SEEN AND WHERE THEY CAN GET IN AND OUT FAST! TYPICALLY THEY SELECT AN UNOCCUPIED HOME WITH THE EASY ACCESS, FEW (IF ANY) SECURITY MEASURES, THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF COVER AND A GREAT ESCAPE ROUTE.  

​

 

ANALYSIS OF FBI AND THE US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DATA FINDS:

 

• EVERY 15 SECONDS A HOME BURGLARY OCCURS IN THE UNITED STATES. THIS MEANS THAT APPROXIMATELY 4,800 BURGLARIES HAPPEN EVERY DAY.
   

• BREAK-INS OCCURRING BETWEEN 6 AM AND 6 PM INCREASE IN LIKELIHOOD BY 6%.
   

• MOST BURGLARIES HAPPEN IN THE SUMMERTIME BETWEEN THE SUMMER MONTHS OF JUNE AND AUGUST.
   

• 65% OF HOME INVASIONS HAPPEN BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 10 AM AND 3 PM WHEN THE HOME OWNERS ARE COMMONLY AWAY FROM THE HOME.
   

• HOWEVER, 27.6% OF ALL HOME BURGLARIES, SOMEONE IS HOME DURING A BURGLARY.
   

• 66% OF BURGLARIES AFFECT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.
   

• IN TOTAL, VICTIMS OF BURGLARIES (BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC) LOSE AN ESTIMATED $3.4 BILLION IN PERSONAL PROPERTY EACH YEAR.

MULTI-HOME RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES

SUB-DIVISIONS AND GATED-COMMUNITIES MAY HAVE SECURITY MEASURES SUCH AS SECURITY GUARDS, CAMERAS, AND PHYSICAL BARRIERS, BUT THEY MAY LACK A SECURITY PROGRAM THAT INTEGRATES PEOPLE, PROCEDURES, EQUIPMENT, AND TECHNOLOGY. 

​

THIRD COAST’S SECURITY EXPERTS WILL WORK WITH PROPERTY MANAGERS, GENERAL MANAGERS, AND COMMUNITY BOARDS TO DESIGN SECURITY PROGRAMS THAT WILL MITIGATE CRIME, LIABILITY, AND BUILD A SAFER COMMUNITY. THE BIGGEST ASSET TO A COMMUNITY IS ITS REPUTATION, AND IF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IS BECOMING AN ISSUE, REAL ESTATE PRICES WILL DECREASE.
