False Alarm Reduction Unit
Prince George’s County adopted a false alarm ordinance to maximize police resources and reduce the number of false alarm dispatch requests.
Section 9-211 of the Prince George's County Code of Ordinances in Maryland requires residential alarm users to pay a $20.00 permit fee for initial registration and every two (2) years thereafter. Beginning with the third activation, a $50.00 violation fine will be assessed for false alarms.
