City of Stockton Police Department - Alarms Alarms A burglar alarm can be a deterrent to crime. A home without an alarm is six times as likely to be burglarized as a home with a burglar alarm. While an alarm is a valuable tool in protecting your home and property, false alarms can become a nuisance. Often, emergency calls for service are placed on hold while officers respond to alarms that turn out to be false. An alarm system is burglarproof.
Nothing is burglarproof.
You will never have a false alarm if you purchase the salesman's alarm system. Any system can produce a false alarm if it is not installed or operated correctly. The Police Department endorses a specific alarm company and provides a quicker response because none of their alarms are false. The Police Department does not endorse any company. When your alarm is activated, the responding police officers can hear what is going on inside your home over their car radios.
