Home Security on Long Island: Why Residents Need to Act Now
Long Island, comprising Nassau and Suffolk counties, has long been regarded as a secure suburban environment ideal for families. However, beneath this serene surface lies a persistent challenge—property crime, particularly burglaries and home invasions. Despite recent reductions in overall crime rates, break-ins remain a significant concern for residents.
Understanding the Crime Landscape
Recent data highlights that burglaries continue to impact Long Island homeowners. While overall crime in Nassau County declined approximately 25% in early 2025, residential burglaries still occurred at an alarming rate. Specifically, Nassau County recorded 29 residential burglaries within just the first two months of 2025. Although lower than the 66 burglaries recorded during the same timeframe in 2024, these incidents underscore an ongoing vulnerability.
In Suffolk County, burglary remains similarly troubling. According to state statistics, Suffolk County reported 311 burglaries in just the first quarter of 2024 alone. These numbers, although showing a slight decrease, continue to represent a significant risk to residents.
Why Front Doors and Windows Are Key
Research consistently indicates that the primary entry points for home invaders are front doors, windows, and sliding doors. Without reinforced entryways, homes remain exposed—even with active alarm systems in place. This is precisely where Centurion Security Solutions plays a pivotal role.
