Several days ago, one of our customers (also a friend) had his store burglarized by a “Smash & Grab” intruder. As customers of APB you already have an alarm system, so arm it more often and let the alarm and our Central Station do their job of helping to protect families & their possessions.
You’re an intelligent, capable homeowner. Maybe you think that’s everything you need to handle an at-home emergency all on your own.
