It is the responsibility of your alarm service provider to notify Hamilton Police Service of the installation of your alarm system which is best done, immediately following. Once received Hamilton Police Service, will contact you by mail with the registration forms.
Each alarm company or monitoring station must be registered with the Hamilton Police Service.
False Alarms – Registration Of Your Alarm System
Registration is not required however we recommend that you do register, especially if the system is new to you. False alarms occur frequently with new alarm users as well as businesses with a high employee turn-over. Accurate up-to-date information about alarm subscribers and the monitoring companies serving them, helps the Hamilton Police Service know who to contact in case of an emergency.
Registration is yearly and will begin on the day payment is received. The benefit for you is that fees for police response to false alarms are less if the premise is registered.
The registration fees are $24.00 for Residential premises and $48.00 for Non-Residential premises.
