HIGH FIVES: Home Security Systems Donated to DV Victims

Hurray for ADT Security Services, the Spring of Tampa Bay, the Tampa Police Department and the Sheriff's Office in Tampa.

The November 16, 2005, issue of the St. Petersburg Times in St. Petersburg, Florida, reported that domestic violence victims who are deemed to be in imminent danger and have secured restraining orders will be given -- free of charge -- a home security system that sends a silent alarm to ADT Security Services.  The victims can either push a button mounted in the home or on a pendant.

ADT is paying for the program, estimated to cost $50,000 over five years.  High Five to ADT.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if every security service in the country offered the same service?
