Alarm System Permit

Who Needs a City of Inglewood Alarm System Permit?

Any individual or business that has a functioning alarm system installed at their residence or place of business inside the City of Inglewood must obtain an Alarm System Permit.

Purpose of an Alarm System Permit

An Alarm System Permit gives Police and Emergency Personnel adequate contact telephone numbers in case of an emergency. It also gives the Police a list of responsible parties who can respond to the alarm location in the event of a break-in.

If a responsible party fails to respond to the location when requested to do so within 30 minutes of said request, the affected building will be boarded up at the applicants expense. The best way to avoid the expense of a board up service is to make sure that the Police have access to responsible parties who are willing to respond to the location.
