We’ve recently posted our latest TV commercial to YouTube (or you can see it conventionally over WECT-TV Channel 6 out of Wilmington). We were fortunate to have been able to enlist the aid of two local professionals – DellMarie Pittman and Bo Thorp – to star in the production. They were great.
Security is serious business, and we’ve been at it for 47 years now. We’re proud to say that we have offices in Fayetteville and Wilmington, NC, as well as the only local, UL rated Monitoring Center in eastern North Carolina. We’re here for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Take a look at the video, and let us know what you think.
The Fayetteville Police Department recently issued an alert concerning the rash of door-to-door alarm sales. It was appropriately titled “Protect Yourself From Fraud“.
Take a moment to read this alert, and understand that the alarm industry is highly regulated. All representatives must be licensed. If you are approached by one of these door-to-door alarm salespeople, call your local law enforcement office and place a report. If you decide to talk to the representative, ask to see their alarm license. Before making any decision, at least check the company’s rating through the Better Business Bureau.
More information can be found at the Fayetteville Police Department’s website “Be The Badge“.
While doing yard work the other day, I discovered a pair of gardening-type work gloves between the bushes in my front planting bed and my house. You know the type of gloves, cloth on one side with a rubberized, non-slip palm. I knew the gloves weren’t mine, and I knew they didn’t belong to my wife or daughter. Would they do yard work? No way.
My initial thought was that someone had tried to open a window and gain access to my house. In my mind, I pictured the would-be burglar being startled by a vigilant neighbor, and dropping the gloves as they ran off. Who knows? All I’m sure of is that I found a pair of gloves – not mine – in a strange location at my house. And suddenly, I felt very vulnerable.
Sure, I have an alarm system, and it’s monitored. But there are other things I could do to make my home even safer. Little, common sense things. Like making sure my windows are locked, and making sure my deadbolts are in place. And, like making sure my bushes are cut low enough so that an intruder can’t hide behind them. I’ve been meaning to cut them – honest I have. There’s nothing like a little common sense, and a little incentive to get the job done!
