I forgot this is Saturday. Probably the non emergency phones aren't manned on the weekend. I will call Monday and tell you what they say.

Wonder who on this forum sells security systems? Anyone know?

Wrought iron grille work in an entry is probably the only thing they can't break through, however, if they really want to get in, they will go to a window or sliding door.

Although this video is primarily about Home Invasions it contains some good information about home security measures (locks, alarms and video systems) as well.

It is well worth the seven minutes viewing time. The presenter, Massad Ayoob, has been a highly regarded self defense expert for decades.
