University Crime Stats Spark a Rise in Burglar Alarm Installations in Leeds

Keighley, United Kingdom, September 24, 2012 --(PR.com)-- EDT Security Solutions Ltd., Leeds-based experts in home security, are experiencing an increase in enquiries as a result of recently released information on crime rates in Leeds.

A study has used police figures to measure crime rates in a three-mile radius around university campuses and sadly Leeds University and Leeds Metropolitan University have been shown to have the highest levels of burglary.

The rankings have been produced by the Complete University Guide and provide what is the most detailed breakdown of crime figures around universities. David Tilford, Director of EDT Security Solutions, said: "We've been installing domestic alarms in Leeds http://edtsecurity.co.uk/alarms-in-yorkshire/alarms-in-leeds.html) for many years but have recently had a big increase in the number of enquiries from customers living in the Headingley, Hyde Park and Burley areas.

"These are areas of Leeds close to the universities so naturally they're places where students choose to live. It's understandable for parents to want to make sure that their kids are living in safe and secure properties - I know I would."

EDT Security Solutions provide a complete range of security services including CCTV, access control, security lighting. "We've also had a big rise in enquiries from landlords looking to protect their properties. They understand how important security concerns are for their tenants and in the competitive student rental market, having a decent home alarm system has become an essential," added David Tilford.

EDT Security Solutions offer a bespoke fitting service for alarms in Leeds (http://edtsecurity.co.uk/) and David is very proud of the service they offer: "At EDT we understand that no two homes are the same and that everyone has different security needs. We always begin the installation process with a thorough, no-obligation survey which provides us with a great opportunity to assess the client's security needs. Our wireless alarm systems, for example, can be installed with the minimum of fuss and disruption.

"The latest wireless systems are extremely reliable and specially designed not to be interfered with by mobile phone or broadband signals so there's no need to worry - especially in a student property that could well include six or so phones and laptops!

"In light of these figures I'd urge parents and landlords to get in touch with us to discuss their security requirements before the new university term gets underway. Our alarm systems can be installed at a time to suit the customer; we understand that people lead busy lives to we're happy to carry out installations at weekends and evenings."
