Fort Erie Home Alarm & Security Systems

Fort Erie, at the southern end of the Niagara Peninsula, is not confirmed as part of the St. Catharines–Niagara CMA boundary, so Ontario’s 2024 provincial Crime Severity Index of 60.7 is the most honest available benchmark for Fort Erie homeowners.

Last updated: 16-Jul-2026 · Crime data: Statistics Canada, police-reported crime statistics 2024, table 35-10-0026-01 (released 22-Jul-2025).

What does the 2024 crime data say about Fort Erie?

Area (2024)	Crime Severity Index	Change vs. 2023	Rate per 100,000
Ontario	60.7	—	4,458
Canada	77.9	−4%	5,672

Note: Statistics Canada does not publish a Crime Severity Index specific to Fort Erie, and its inclusion in the St. Catharines-Niagara CMA boundary is not confirmed; Ontario’s provincial figure is shown as the conservative reference.

Without a Fort Erie-specific StatsCan figure, Ontario’s provincial numbers are the closest honest benchmark available. As a border town connected to Buffalo, New York by the Peace Bridge, Fort Erie sees significant cross-border traffic that doesn’t apply to most other Niagara Region towns. Monitored security applies the same standard regardless of that traffic: entry sensors, motion coverage, and a 24/7 professional response the moment something trips, plus fire, flood, and CO monitoring year-round.

How does monitored home security work in Fort Erie?

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 Fort Erie-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.
