About Massachusetts
Massachusetts is a state of firsts—first railroad, first library, first state constitution, the first college (Harvard University), and the first computer.
The state also boasts many other achievements such as being the home of Alexander Graham Bell (invented the telephone), James Naismith (invented basketball), the first public school system, and the first subway in the U.S. Besides their many claims to fame, Massachusetts is known for their rich history of early pilgrim settlements, Salem witch trials, and the Boston Tea Party.
Compared to the national average, Massachusetts has a lower rate of overall crime. However, their individual rates of violent, auto, and hate crimes are the same or above the national average.
For example, hate crimes in Massachusetts are double the national average, with higher rates of race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and disability related crimes.
Their crimes per square mile are slightly below the national average and so is their number of law enforcement employees per capita.
Finding the Best Home Security Systems in Massachusetts
Even though the state sees a lower-than-average number of crimes per population, we still recommend a quality home security system to deter those burglars that are on the prowl in Massachusetts.
The most important features of a good home security system in Massachusetts are:
- Monthly price
- Smart home add ons
- Good cancellation policies
- No installation fees
Though most companies in Massachusetts will have at least one of these benefits, we recommend customer search for a company with as many of the previously mentioned features as possible.
We are confident that our top home security companies are good options for customers in Massachusetts.
