Kansas City's burglary rates are declining slowly but surely. In 2019, Kansas City Police responded to 3,064 breaking and entering. That's more than 650 fewer property crimes than the year prior. However, breaking and entering is often preventable. Making sure your house is properly locked down can prevent crimes like these from happening. If you tend to be forgetful with doors and garages, this is where a home automation system like ADT's or Vivint's can really come in handy.
