Reliance Home Alarm & Security Systems

Reliance is one of the smallest and most remote communities in the Northwest Territories, on the shore of Great Slave Lake, and is not tracked as its own census metropolitan area — the Northwest Territories posted the highest provincial or territorial Crime Severity Index in Canada in 2024, at 526.9.

What does the 2024 crime data say about Reliance?

Area (2024)	Crime Severity Index	Change vs. 2023	Rate per 100,000

Canada	77.9	−4%	5,672

Note: Statistics Canada does not publish a Crime Severity Index specific to Reliance; the Northwest Territories’ territorial figure is shown as the reference, and reflects the whole territory, not this specific community.

Reliance’s population is tiny, and Statistics Canada’s territorial figures reflect the North’s unique reporting patterns rather than suggesting any specific event in this specific community — the number is a territory-wide figure, not a Reliance-specific one, and it’s the only honest benchmark available for a community this remote. What is true regardless of the index is practical: Reliance is about as far from conventional emergency response infrastructure as a Canadian home can be, which makes any layer of monitored protection more valuable, not less. Entry sensors, motion coverage, and a 24/7 professional response the moment something trips, plus fire, flood, and CO monitoring through the territory’s extreme winters.

How does monitored home security work in Reliance?

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 Northwest Territories 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.

Why is the Northwest Territories’ Crime Severity Index so high?

The Northwest Territories posted the highest Crime Severity Index of any province or territory in Canada in 2024, at 526.9, more than six times the national index of 77.9 (Statistics Canada, table 35-10-0026-01). This is a territory-wide figure, not specific to any single small community like Reliance, and remote northern communities across Canada consistently show higher rates in this data. Monitored home security doesn’t depend on the reason behind a regional statistic to be worthwhile.

How fast is alarm response in Reliance?

With professional monitoring, a triggered alarm reaches a Canadian monitoring centre immediately, 24/7/365. A trained operator verifies the alarm and dispatches police, fire, or ambulance in the Reliance area right away.
