Should You Install a Security System in Your DeKalb County Home?

DeKalb County offers a diverse blend of neighborhoods, parks, schools, and cultural landmarks—making it a popular place to live just outside the core of Atlanta. But like any large metro area, it's important to recognize that crime can happen anywhere, even in communities that feel safe.

Here's what to keep in mind about crime in DeKalb County:

  • DeKalb County experiences property crime rates of 66.1 per 1,000 residents, nearly double the national average of 35.4.
  • Violent crimes occur at a rate of 29.4 per 1,000 residents, surpassing the national average of 22.7.
  • As a whole, DeKalb County's crime levels are slightly above the Georgia state average, which makes home safety an essential consideration for residents.

While many parts of DeKalb offer a strong sense of community and relative safety, no area is completely crime-proof. Whether you live in a quiet suburb or a bustling part of town, a home security system can add a valuable layer of protection.

Installing cameras, alarms, and smart monitoring systems not only deters potential criminals but also provides peace of mind—knowing your home and loved ones are more secure.

Customer Story in DeKalb County, GA

Very patient in making sure everything was absolutely resolved correctly...

The Problem:

  • Ms. Murray, a resident of DeKalb County, had recently installed a new security system in her home, which was being monitored by Ackerman Security. One night, upon arriving home, Ms. Murray set off her security alarm, and couldn't turn it off. Within seconds, Ackerman Security was notified of the alarm and attempted to reach out to Ms. Murray, to no avail. Because Ackerman guarantees a response time of under 45 seconds, the decision was made to dispatch the police to assess the situation. Once the police were scheduled, more attempts were made to reach her.

The Solution:

  • Shortly after the police were dispatched, a confused Ms. Murray called in to Ackerman, where she reached certified Alarm Agent Valshanay W. After the two consulted with one another, they realized that one of Ms. Murray's primary phone numbers hadn't been updated, which prevented Ackerman from reaching her after the alarm was initially triggered. Valshanay updated all of Ms. Murray's information and assisted her with resetting her alarm. She also made sure Ms. Murray was aware on how to use the system properly moving forward in case the situation happened again.
The monitoring call center is professional, patient and on top of things. I had a false alarm set off while I was home. They called immediately even though I had given the wrong phone number in error and the police was immediately dispatched. The second time it happened on same day after contact... The monitoring call center is professional, patient and on top of things. I had a false alarm set off while I was home. They called immediately even though I had given the wrong phone number in error and the police was immediately dispatched. The second time it happened on same day after contact info updated correctly, the monitoring representative called me immediately and walked me through on fixing the glitch. She stayed on the phone and was very patient in making sure everything was absolutely resolved correctly.
