Security is a concern of one and all in a society with a high rate of crime. Crime is a social menace inevitable in all society but more prevalent in a society with a wide gap between the opportune and less opportune like Nigeria. The less opportune would usually resort to crime in a bid to satisfy their needs. Crime is committed with intent to (a) steal (b) harm or (c) steal & harm. Crime take different form and is dictated by the level of knowledge and opportunities available to the perpetrator/s. Crime ranges from modern age computer scam to old age burglary. Whether it is computer scam or burglary, the perpetrators are highly organised and intent on succeeding. While computer scams is usually remotely conducted and involves electronics transmission, burglary often brings the perpetrator/s in close proximity to the victim/s. Hence more guarded measures needs to be taken against burglary to minimise damage.

Burglars do not usually announce a visit and their plan usually includes catching the victim/s unawares. Worst still, break-ins are usually violent leaving even survivors traumatised for a long time in addition to loosing valuables. One also has to take into consideration that in Nigeria, conclusive investigations into burglary related crimes have shown that most security breaches are directly carried out by or in collaboration with someone with knowledge of the victim/s. Such security breaches happen when least expected and when the victim is most vulnerable, hence the need to accord greater attention to the security of loved ones, property and valuables. Burglars more often weigh out the chances of success considering they intend enjoying the fruit of the mission.  Their plans would include a successful exit from crime spot. Intent on succeeding, burglars approaches their target in a group and armed in a bid to overpower their victims.

A target is usually someone in possession of or the key to satisfying what the burglars want. The type and target of burglary can be shifted dependent on the obstacles (deterrents) put in place by their target. The question is how effective is a target’s deterrent to shift crime away.

Apparently, common knowledge security devices e.g. high fencing, burglar proof, mai-guards etc are proving inadequate in the face of approaches now adopted by burglars e.g. wall-breaking etc. The resourcefulness of such conventional security devices is limited. For example, mai-guards effectiveness is time-restricted.  A minimum of three mai-guards would need to cover a 24-hours shift to give anything close to the responsiveness of an intruder alarm. Conventional security devices need to be complemented or replaced by more effective proven option

The solution lies in researching and putting in place an effective security device. Comparative research on the effectiveness of personal security options has revealed the most effective security option is intruder alarms explaining their wider usage in other parts of the world. A UK survey revealed buildings secured with such devices are 9 times less likely to be burgled compared to those without one. Intruder alarms are respected their round the clock effectiveness making them a worthy investment. Its primary feature- siren unsettles and shifts pressure onto intruder/s. An alarm not only alerts the user, it also attracts attention for help. Their resourceful is not too far fetched. It is a must have product by members of the expatriate community and security conscious Nigerians with an awareness of its benefits.

Over the years, intruder alarms have been improving and become more affordable. Many Governments are even encouraging its usage.
