Corpus Christi is safer than most U.S. cities, but Corpus Christi residents are more likely to be the victims of crime than the Texas average. The neighborhoods with the most crime in Corpus Christi include Central City, Flour Bluff, Northwest, South Side and Bay Area.
The 2018 FBI crime rates for Corpus Christi show:
Crime | Incidents |
---|---|
Burglary | 1,083 |
Larceny | 4,465 |
Motor vehicle theft | 445 |
Arson | 34 |
This is a fairly high rate for a city with a population of around 320,000 people. For reference, Laredo has around 260,000 residents, and its crime rate is nearly half of Corpus Christi’s. In 2017, Corpus Christi was one of the top-30 cities nationwide for crime rate per 100,000 people.
The good news is that there are many highly rated security systems on the market today that help protect you and your home from crime in Corpus Christi. Homes with a security system are 33% less likely to get robbed.
There are two basic types of home security systems to choose from: unmonitored and monitored. Both systems use alarms and motion detectors to protect your house. The main difference is that a monitored security system contacts the police when the alarm goes off, while an unmonitored system only tries to scare away potential intruders.
False alarms are costly and dangerous because they divert police officers from actual crime prevention and delay response times. If an officer responds to an alarm and finds no evidence of criminal offense, Corpus Christi residents might have to pay a false alarm fee, depending on how frequently this occurs:
A basic, monitored home security system in Corpus Christi costs about $600. However, if you have a larger home or specific security needs, such as a workshop or garage that you want protected, you will pay more. Many companies offer hands-on support in designing the perfect security system for your property.
In addition to basic security system equipment, expect to pay for:
Corpus Christi residents must also purchase a permit for their security system. This annual cost is $50 for residents and $75 for commercial businesses. Police will not respond to an alarm notification without a valid permit.
Security systems in Corpus Christi may seem expensive, but remember that your security system could save you thousands of dollars in the long run.
Consumers can save money and install their alarm systems themselves, but knowing how requires some experience. With professional installation, you know that your home is safe from all angles. Professional home security installation experts are also able to wire your home to accept your new home security system seamlessly.
