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

Note: Statistics Canada does not publish an annual Crime Severity Index for Asbestos; Quebec’s provincial figure is shown as the reference.
Without an Asbestos-specific StatsCan figure, Quebec’s provincial numbers are the closest honest benchmark available. A former mining town now working to diversify its economy, Asbestos serves a wide surrounding rural area, and its distance from Sherbrooke means emergency response resources for the wider region are more limited. Monitored security handles that directly: entry sensors, motion coverage, and a 24/7 professional response the moment something trips, plus fire, flood, and CO monitoring through Quebec’s winters.
How does monitored home security work in Asbestos?
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 Asbestos-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.
