BENEFIT: PICKING THE PERFECT PEOPLE IN FIELD ENSURES THE SAFETY OF FAMILY, PROPERTY.
With crime one of the most pressing concerns in the country, securing your home adequately is crucial, but it is important to choose the right security company to ensure the safety of your family and property.
A robust security system, backed up by reliable response and maintenance teams, is a strong deterrent against criminal activity.
It reduces the likelihood of break-ins, theft and violent crime, giving you greater peace of mind in the face of alarming crime statistics, says Sarah Nicholson, operations manager of JustMoney.
These concerning statistics show how big the problem is:
► Housebreaking: a burglary takes place when you are away from home, the most common crime South African households experience according to Stats SA. An estimated 1.6 million housebreaking incidents occurred during the 2022-23 financial year.
► Home robbery or home invasion: regarded as a violent crime as it takes place when people are in the house. This is the second most common crime households experience. An estimated 238,000 incidents occurred in 2022-23 according to Stats SA.
