As more and more consumers choose to protect their homes and businesses with alarm systems, the number of false alarms continues to grow each year.

Alarm Ordinance Overview

The ordinance establishes mandatory user permits and fines and other sanctions for excessive numbers of false alarms. Here’s how it works.

  1. All alarm users must obtain an alarm use permit from the police department.
  2. Businesses must include a $75** permit fee. Business permits must be renewed yearly.
  3. There is no fee for residents to obtain the permit, and they do not expire unless there is a change in home ownership.
  4. Upon receipt of completed application and fee(if applicable), the WCPD shall issue a permit for the designated premise.
  5. The police department will inform you by letter if your premise has had false alarms. If the premise has three (3) or more false alarms, fees are attached to the responses starting at $100. The premises who do not desire police response to alarms, do not obtain a permit or, do not pay fines associated with false alarm dispatches are placed on a non response status that refers to alarm activations only. All other types of calls for police response will continue.
  6. An alarm user may appeal assessment of a fine by filing a written request for hearing to the Alarm Review Board within ten (10) days after receipt of fine. The decision of the Board is final.
