Safe as Houses

It’s often said that our home is where our heart is. The house in which we live is also the place you are likely to find the things that are most precious to us. Whether these things have financial wealth or sentimental value, they are things we care about and have a desire to protect.

As much as we might think our personal possessions are safe and secure under lock and key, the truth is that there are highly skilled and very determined criminals who have the capabilities to target and steal our most-treasured items.

Throughout 2022, there were close to 200,000 residential home break-ins across England and Wales. Homeowners in Essex also need to take particular care. According to data released by the Office for National Statistics in 2022, there were close to 5,000 burglaries in Essex, with the county placed ninth in the list of police jurisdictions within England and Wales in terms of the number of break ins.

This equates to an Essex home being targeted by burglars every 107 minutes. Although this is a significantly better than the figures for the London Metropolitan zone which records a break in every 13 minutes.

While these figures might be cause for concern, there are ways to beat the burglars and turn the statistics back in your favour. Installing effective security solutions for your home doesn’t have to be a complicated or expensive process. And with the right system in place, which is both discreet and easy to use, while also providing the most powerful deterrent to would-be criminals.   

Clarke Infinity designs and delivers confidential security strategies and we focus on delivering the essential three Ds of security: Deterrence, Denial and Detection. With each client we develop a strategy to deter a burglar from even considering their property as a target, before the next step which is to deny a burglar access with high-level security systems and ensuring there are no weak entry points. Finally, in the unlikely event that a burglar does attempt a break in, our systems will ensure they are detected as early as possible and forced to abort.
