Almost 5,000 burglaries in Nashville took place in 2017, according to crime data from the Metro Nashville Police Department. Places like West Nashville and East Nashville are increasingly susceptible to theft. Home burglaries are higher in neighborhoods like Green Hills, 12 South and Bellevue, in the Crieve Hall and Nippers Corner areas. Indeed, the rate of property and other crimes in Nashville outpaces the rest of the state and nation.

Nashville police know the safety that comes with a home security system. Homeowners can take preventive measures to lower their chances of being burglarized, and a state-of-the-art home security system is an important first step.
For installation, some home security companies install the system, while others send you wireless equipment you install yourself. Choosing which is right for you depends on where a homeowner lives in Nashville and when the house was built.
Houses and apartments in Germantown and in West Nashville were built as early streetcar suburbs in the 1920s and have older wiring and plaster walls. A wireless DIY home security system might be their best option. Wireless DIY systems are also easier to move than hard-wired systems, which makes them ideal for people who rent apartments and want to take their system with them.
For homeowners who want to avoid the hassle of setting up their own systems, many companies provide free installation for home security systems in Nashville. Having a professional install your home alarm system prevents mistakes that can lead to ineffective monitoring or false alarms.
The average price for a new home security system in Nashville is around $675, but costs vary based on how large your home is, how many entrances it has and the type of features you want. While basic systems come with sensors for your doors and windows, many homeowners add advanced security features such as:
If your home security system provider offers home alarm system monitoring, you may get a reduced price on your initial equipment. Monitored systems come with a monthly fee, but provide many benefits over unmonitored home alarm systems.
Before a system goes online, Nashville residents must obtain and pay for a $20 permit. The Alarm Registration Division explains the process to register online or by mail. Permits expire every April 1st and renewals are $20.
False alarms are cause for a $25 fine. The Nashville police or fire department may file a request to revoke your alarm permit after the sixth false burglary alarm, fourth false robber/panic alarm or fourth false fire alarm. You permit may also be revoked if you do not make a reasonable effort to comply with the city code.
