We at Washington Alarm find it necessary to reach out to our community and remind our neighbors about vigilant security and safety practice tips.
1. Open lines of sight on your property. Not only make sure you can see out, but ensure your neighbors have adequate visibility of your home and access points.
2. Exterior lighting needs to be bright enough to see 100ft from your home. Light up entry points. Consider motion sensor lights in less frequented areas on your property.
3. Using inside lighting timers or home automation are great ways to bring life or perceived occupancy to your home when you are away.
4. Never hide spare keys near your door or in the glove box of your car.
5. Let at least one of your trusted neighbors know when you will be away from your home for an extended amount of time.
6. Make sure your house number is visible from the street.
7. Consider using alarm company signs and decals as a deterrent.
Washington Alarm takes security and safety of our neighbors seriously. We have been protecting homes and businesses in the Greater Puget Sound area since 1960.
We provide security system monitoring 24/7 by our highly trained Central Station Operators, in our Local, UL Listed, FM Approved Central Station in Seattle.

Last week, Tim Ramage of Washington Alarm briefly discussed false alarm prevention and workshops sponsored by the SPD at Seattle Execs main meeting.
Some of the members requested more information so we thought we would post a link to the Seattle Police Department's "false alarm prevention" website. There is plenty of valuable information here.

Do you require fire and security monitoring for your business, but don't want to pay for telephone lines?
Washington Alarm has the solution for you. We can monitor almost any system via wireless communication with radio and cellular technology.*
You dont have to hassle with telephone lines any longer. Wireless communication is less expensive, more effective and just makes sense!
Here are some benefits to consider:
1. No more expensive redundant telephone lines for required systems. In the past, most fire systems require two telephone lines by code costing you up to $90.00 per month. Wireless monitoring starts at only $29.95 per month.** This is a savings of up to $720.00 per year!
2. You no longer have to worry about coordinating with your telephone company. By switching to wireless, there is only one company that handles it all.
3. Radio signals reach our monitoring center within seconds. This means our Central Monitoring Station can respond much faster to save lives and property.
4. We can immediately meet your needs. We offer a no obligation assessment on your current system.
Washington Alarm, Inc. has been protecting the Great Northwest for over 50 years! We offer incredibly competitive pricing with our commitment to excellent service. We do not subcontract any of our services. Our UL certified monitoring center is located in Seattle and we service what we sell. We are always here for you, 24/7.

Beware of Door to Door Alarm Sales
For the past few years, several out-of-state companies have brought a college-aged sales force into our local communities to perform aggressive door to door sales of their alarm systems.
? They often misrepresent themselves as being from your alarm company or may use a well know brand name like Honeywell or GE Security.
? They may claim to have a new and better product; or that there is a problem with your current system that they are there to fix.
? They may be pleasant, but typically use high pressure sales tactics.
? They require you to sign a new monitoring contract that commits you to payments to a different company.
? They may offer a no-cost installation, but the monthly fees are exceptionally high.
? They often target senior citizens and attempt to confuse the homeowner into signing a new contract.
? This has been a nationwide phenomenon and there have been thousands of consumer fraud complaints and complaints to the BBB. Be prepared! Go on-line and Google alarm summer sales complaints for a sample of their activities and tactics.
A legitimate alarm company will never show up at your door without your knowledge and an appointment. The representative should always be able to produce appropriate identification.
If ever in doubt, call your alarm company to confirm the identity of someone representing them.
You have the right to ask a person to leave your home or premises and if they continue with their sales efforts after you have asked them to leave, notify the police.
Has a 'door to door' security system sales person knocked on your door in the last year?

Even though Seattle saw increases in both violent crimes and property crimes during the first half of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, the slight rise came after back-to-back years that saw crime dip to lows not seen since the 1960s.
Data released Monday by the FBI showed incidents of violent crime (murder, rape, aggravated assault A person is guilty of aggravated assault if he or she attempts to cause serious bodily injury to another or causes such injury purposely, knowingly, or recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life; or attempts to cause or purposely or and robbery) in Seattle increased from 1,582 during the first six months of 2008 to 1,927 during the same period this year -- a rise of nearly 22 percent, the FBI reported.
Property crimes (burglary, larceny, theft and car theft) in Seattle also rose approximately 4.5 percent during the first half of the year with 16,325 incidents, compared with 15,629 incidents during the first half of 2008.
The number of murders, rapes and auto thefts in Seattle all declined during the first six months of 2009 compared to the previous year, but robberies, aggravated ag?gra?vate

2. To rouse to exasperation or anger; provoke. See Synonyms at annoy. assaults and thefts all increased. The number of arsons nearly doubled in 2008, while reports of burglaries in the city remained virtually unchanged.
