Long Island Crime Statistics: Break-Ins Increasing & How Centurion Security Solutions Can Help

Long Island residents often take pride in their communities' safety. Yet, the unsettling reality is that break-ins and forced entries remain serious threats. Recent crime statistics highlight the necessity for homeowners to reinforce their homes' security proactively.

Examining Recent Crime Trends

Despite general declines in certain crime categories, residential burglaries continue to challenge homeowners across Nassau and Suffolk counties. In Nassau County alone, law enforcement reported approximately 1,295 burglaries throughout 2023. Suffolk County documented approximately 809 burglaries during the same period, underscoring an ongoing security risk.

These numbers reflect a persistent vulnerability for homeowners, despite broader trends of decreasing crime. A home break-in can result in significant financial loss and lasting emotional trauma, emphasizing the importance of preventive security measures.

Understanding Burglary Risks

Research from security studies and law enforcement agencies consistently shows that most burglars seek quick and easy entry points. Front doors, back doors, windows, and sliding glass doors represent typical weak points exploited by criminals. National burglary statistics further reinforce these vulnerabilities:

  • Approximately 83% of burglars assess a home’s security before attempting entry.

  • Front doors are the most common entry points, accounting for about 34% of burglaries nationwide.

These statistics stress the urgent need for enhanced, visible, and reliable home security solutions.

How Centurion Security Solutions Provides Protection

Centurion Security Solutions offers homeowners across Long Island state-of-the-art security screens and doors designed to significantly reduce the likelihood of break-ins. Each product features high-quality, .035-inch stainless steel mesh designed explicitly for strength and durability, capable of resisting forced entry attempts.

Visible Deterrence and Strength

The visible presence of robust security measures alone is a powerful deterrent. Potential intruders are far less likely to target homes visibly equipped with reinforced security screens and doors, such as those provided by Centurion. This preventive approach significantly reduces the risk of burglary attempts and subsequent damage or loss.

Custom-Made for Your Home

Every Centurion Security product is custom-fit, ensuring a precise, seamless integration with your home's architectural design. By reinforcing vulnerable entry points—including doors, windows, and sliding patio doors—homeowners gain a powerful line of defense against unauthorized entry.

Additional Benefits: Home Value and Aesthetics

Centurion Security Solutions products not only enhance safety but also improve home aesthetics and property value. Stylish designs and customizable finishes ensure your home remains visually appealing, increasing curb appeal and marketability. Investing in high-quality security solutions is not only practical but financially wise.
