Are half of all crimes going unsolved?

At Blackburn Alarms we’re all about doing everything possible to prevent crime. After all, catching a thief, or an arsonist, is no substitute for staying crime-free in the first place.

Recent figures released by 28 different UK police forces (excluding the Metropolitan Police) would seem to suggest that there’s another very strong reason for keeping the bad guys away from your home or business.

According to the figures, a shocking 52% of all crimes fell into the category “investigation closed, no suspect identified.

To you and me, that means there’s no culprit and no more questions.  If that culprit made off with your family heirlooms, your office computers, or anything else you hold in high value – then they’re gone.

Alarmingly, the figures are even higher for the kind of crimes our products and services have been tailored to protect you against. Here are the appalling figures for unsolved crimes:

  • Criminal damage and arson – 73%

  • Theft – 72%

  • Robbery – 56%

Don’t misunderstand us. We have the highest regard for the police and emergency services. For the most part they work diligently and tirelessly to keep our streets, our homes and our businesses safe.

But the bad guys get smarter – and there are simply too many of them for the police to solve every crime. Resources are stretched and they are allocated (quite rightly) to preventing and solving the worst kinds of crime – meaning the rest are quite simply under-policed.

All this goes to show that protecting yourself, your business and the ones you love has never been more important than it is today. If don’t want to gamble on a 1:4 chance of success should you fall victim to a criminal damage or arson attack, then prevention is the surest way.

Whether it’s domestic or commercial access control, CCTV monitoring systems, burglar alarms or fire alarms, Blackburn Alarms can keep you out of harm’s way, and keep you off the statistics list.

Blackburn Alarms can talk you through the options and help you decide on the right solution for you. For an obligation free conversation, call us today on 01254 739 255.Watch Full Movie Online Streaming Online and Download
