While the crime rate has dropped in Fort Lauderdale since 2009, investing in a monitoring security system can be beneficial to the individual and the community alike. In 2010 alone, there were 2,841 incidences of burglary, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Burglaries and home break-ins occur 60 percent more frequently in Fort Lauderdale than the national average. Because Fort Lauderdale is a relatively large city, citizens need to protect themselves and their property. During these troublesome economic times, the employment rate is down and the crime rate is up nationally, and this does not exclude Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas in South Florida. Installing a monitoring security system can lessen the risk of home break-ins and burglaries, and can, in turn, prevent violent crimes from occurring.

Most homeowners would invest in better locks for their doors as well as better lighting on the exterior of their homes rather than spend their money on a security system. Although most homeowners in those days would have liked to own a burglar alarm, the price of an average burglar alarm system ranged from $1500 to $2500.
