TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - If you're deciding what type of alarm system or company to go with, the Leon County Sheriff's Office has some advice for you.
Lt. Grady Jordan says you should look into the company's history by checking with the Better Business Bureau.
Also, see if they have a 24-hour monitoring program.
Do the research. Know the product you are getting.
When you do make that purchase, Lt. Jordan recommends having a good key holder. Whether it's a friend or family member, make sure the person can be reached by law enforcement in case you do have a break-in.
