Burlington’s Security Reality: The Numbers Don’t Lie
Local crime data reveals why Burlington residents need professional-grade protection:
Property Crime Breakdown
- Burglary: 569.3 per 100,000 residents (13% above national average)
- Theft: 2,835.1 per 100,000 residents (39% above national average)

When Crime Strikes
Most break-ins in Burlington occur during daytime hours when homes appear to be unoccupied. Vehicle thefts concentrate in areas with limited lighting and surveillance, while package theft has increased dramatically in neighborhoods near Alamance Crossing and residential areas along Highway 70. These patterns require security systems designed specifically for Burlington’s unique challenges.
