Why do I Have to Get a Permit?
The law requiring permits was created to prevent false alarms and help the Suffolk County Police Department cover the costs associated with responding to false alarms.
What if I Don't Register?
Households with a permit will not be assess a fee for the first two (2) false alarms at their home, but will have a fee for the third. Homes without a permit will be charged for the first false alarm and subsequent fees will be higher after that.
