What is the purpose of an Alarm Permit?
When the Police Department responds to an alarm at your home or business, it is important that we have accurate, up-to-date information about alarm users and monitoring agencies. It also enables the Police Department to contact responsible parties or alarm repair personnel if your alarm needs to be reset, has recurring problems, or your building needs to be secured while you are away.
