Do I Need a Security System for My Alpharetta Home?

    Is a Home Security System Necessary for Your Decatur, GA Residence?

    While Decatur is known for its vibrant community, charming neighborhoods, and proximity to Atlanta, no area is completely free from crime. Whether you're in a quiet residential enclave or closer to the heart of downtown, home security should always be part of your plan.

    So, how does Decatur stack up in terms of safety?

    • Decatur sees a mix of property crimes each year, including break-ins and theft, similar to many other suburban areas near major cities.
    • While violent crime is less common, property-related incidents remain a concern for local homeowners.
    • Compared to other cities in Georgia, Decatur ranks around average in safety, but certain neighborhoods may experience more activity than others.

    Even in well-established communities like Decatur, it's wise to take proactive steps to protect your home and loved ones. A reliable security system can provide peace of mind, help deter criminal activity, and offer faster response times in case of an emergency.

    Whether you're a long-time resident or new to the area, investing in home security is a smart move—because being prepared is better than being caught off guard.

Customer Story in Decatur, GA

Ten Years with Ackerman and Still Going Strong

The Problem:

  • Ten years ago, Diane B. of Decatur decided she was done paying expensive monthly monitoring bills for a below-average customer experience. The national security company which had monitored her home was simply too expensive to justify the "adequate" service they provided. It was time to make a change. So in 2010 Diane began looking into local security companies. And shortly after, she found Ackerman Security.

The Solution:

  • Diane scheduled a free consultation with one of Ackerman's expert security consultants. The consultant shared some of his favorite systems and helped Diane find the one that best suited her home. Diane ended up choosing a wireless monitoring package with a custom security system that reduced her monthly costs significantly and still gave her the same level of protection.
"ACKERMAN is highly responsive any time my alarm has gone off. Their support staff is helpful and cordial whether dealing with an alarm or if I am in need of service. I also LOVE the cost; it is much more reasonable than most of the other systems out there like ADT!"
