What You Need To Know About Crime Stats!

We are all aware that with these difficult economic times, many people are losing their jobs and livelihood. Unfortunately, this causes some people to turn to measures of providing for themselves and their family that they never felt they would succumb to. Because of this, it is crucial that you do everything that you can, and in your power to secure not only your home, but protect your family as well.

In order to put this into perspective, here are some statistics from the U.S Census Bureau in 2008 for Phoenix Arizona.

  • In 2008, violent crime totaled 660 in the Phoenix area. When further broken down this was the result of approximately 10 murders, 30 rapes, 304 robberies and 315 aggravated assaults.

  • In 2008, there were a total of 5,214 property related crimes. When further broken down this was the result of approximately 1,184 burglaries, 3,074 crimes related to larceny and theft and 960 cases of motor vehicle theft.

These statistics can be pretty intimidating-especially if one has not taken the proper precautions.

Security Systems for Your Home

Security systems are a home owner’s first defense and method of protection for thieves and robbers. Homes are most likely a person’s largest investment, when you think of what an average home is worth, isn’t it a little scary to not have it protected with a security system? Would you leave a Ferrari unlocked and parked on an open street where anyone could steal it? Of course not! But unfortunately this is what we do with our houses nearly everyday; we simply lock the front door and hope that that is enough to protect us.


Associated Group Remodeling is dedicated to helping people protect their property and family. Because of this, Associated Group Remodeling has researched what are the most effective methods of home security systems and created a new division of Associated Group Remodeling that is strictly dedicated to ensuring the security of ones property and family.


Security cameras are an incredibly effective way to protect personal property. Camera’s can either be placed in discreet places or they can be placed in areas where they can be seen to serve as a deterrent. Studies have shown that properties that have video surveillance are less likely to be vandalized or broken into due to the fear of being caught and prosecuted.  


If you would like to speak with one of our security service technicians, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our security service technicians have been working in the Phoenix area for years and are incredibly experienced at being able to detect potentially problem areas for residential home owners.

Why Use Security Cameras?

When asked the general question of why use security cameras, we can all pretty much answer with a simple response of “in order to protect our family and property”. But how do security cameras protect our family and property? Can security cameras really do this? In this blog we will answer this question and discuss other ways that security cameras are beneficial.
·     Security cameras can be installed in virtually any space. Security cameras serve two primary purposes: 1.) Security Cameras serve as a deterrent. Security cameras are a deterrent to robbers and criminals because it is highly probable that their actions will be recorded on tape and that they will be caught and prosecuted for their crime. Because of this knowledge, thieves and robbers are much more likely to choose a target that does not utilize a security system. The other primary purpose with security cameras is to actually catch the criminal activity and allow the police an additional tool to catch the individual and help prevent the crime from happening again.
·     With large properties and estates, even if there is a security guard, it is physically impossible for the security guard to be able to cover and be aware of everything that is happening on the property. Because of this, security cameras are of extra benefit. They will allow for the monitoring of all activity without actually having to be present at every location on the property.
At Associated Group Remodeling, we believe that in order to protect your family from robbers and thieves it means setting yourself up with the best defense possible, with our research, we have found that security cameras fit this need. Protect your family and property, call us and speak with one of our highly qualified security technicians about adding security cameras to your property or estate!
