In 2019, the Jewelers Security Alliance received reports of 34 rooftop burglaries from 15 states, compared to 9 rooftop burglaries from seven states in 2018. In some cases, alarm systems, often without line security, were compromised. In others, when police responded to alarm signals, they were unable to detect any obvious signs of a break-in upon exterior inspection. Because they were unable to conduct an immediate internal search, it’s likely the burglars had either left the scene, were still inside the building, or on the roof.

Three-minute burglaries continue to impact jewelers who don't adopt proper closing procedures.

Blanketing something over showcases isn't fooling criminals who repeatedly case jewelry businesses and are relentless in targeting items of significant value like luxury watches.  

Peace of mind may be hard to come by when your business is closed for the night.

That’s where burglar alarms for jewelry businesses come into play — but not all are created equal.

You need line security to maintain the integrity of your burglar alarm communication path. Four different line security options are available from Underwriters Laboratories (UL); learn which one is best for your budget and business.
