Talking Signs in England Hope to Reduce Crime

From: Yorkshire Evening Post, London, England:

"The voice of veteran DJ Sir Jimmy Savile is to be broadcast from lampposts in his home city to help the fight against burglars. The 81-year-old presenter is helping out with "talking signs" which give advice on crime prevention in the student-dominated Hyde Park and Headingley areas of Leeds. Sir Jimmy's voice will greet passers-by in the area with advice such as:
"Oi! Open doors, open windows. Burglars nick all the gear."
The signs, which are triggered by people walking past them, are part of a campaign organised by the Safer Leeds crime reduction."

$10.77 per month - High Quality, 24/7 Monitoring

Interstate Alarm Monitoring.com provides central station alarm monitoring to homes across the nation with new installation technology. From our central station: "Our systems are so advanced and so fast, that we have been selected to provide monitoring services at many Government sites, including the United States Secret Service". And now the ability to program a homeowner's security system remotely is now possible. Without the need for a truck and technician to go to a customer home, security systems can be programmed to interface with the central monitoring station from IAM's office location. This new process provides huge savings and keeps IAM's overhead costs at a minimum. And the savings are passed on to the customer. Over 250,000 customer's trust their homes to highly trained operators working in the central station. Available 24/7, they monitor for signals coming from homes and businesses. The central station provides full dispatch capabilities. This means they are able to determine what causes an alarm to go off. Depending on the type of system in the home, the operator can tell the type of device that sent the signal. It could be a fire, smoke, or a door that was broken down that triggered an alarm. It could be CO2 levels are too high or a silent signal was sent could mean someone is experiencing a home invasion. Most licensed central stations, like IAM's, are designed and managed in the same fashion. Only Interstate Alarm Monitoring offers the most reasonable and lowest price.
