Faust Home Alarm & Security Systems

Faust is a hamlet on the south shore of Lesser Slave Lake in Big Lakes County, far too small for its own Statistics Canada Crime Severity Index, so Alberta’s 2024 provincial CSI of 95.6 is the most honest benchmark available.

Note: Statistics Canada does not publish an annual Crime Severity Index for Faust; Alberta’s provincial figure is shown as the reference.

Without a Faust-specific StatsCan figure, Alberta’s provincial numbers are the closest honest benchmark available. Faust sits on Highway 2 along Lesser Slave Lake, a former rail and mill hamlet where the year-round population is small and the surrounding area fills with lake traffic, campers, and seasonal cabin users through the summer. That produces the classic northern-lake pattern: a busy few months when strangers are entirely normal, followed by long winter stretches when whole stretches of shoreline are empty and nobody would notice a forced door for weeks. Monitored security runs continuously through both, covering intrusion, fire, CO, and water at properties nobody is visiting.

How does monitored home security work in Faust?

Your home alarm system — entryway contacts, pet-sensitive motion detection, a digital keypad, high-decibel siren, and backup battery — connects to Canadian monitoring centres that never close. If the system detects a break-in, smoke, flood, or carbon monoxide, a real person responds within moments and alerts the appropriate Faust-area emergency service, whether you’re home or away. “Always On” technology keeps monitored smoke and CO detection active even when the alarm isn’t armed.
