East Haven Police Begin Charging for Excessive False Alarms

Attention East Haven home and business owners: now is a good time to make sure your alarm system is in good working order.

Because starting this month, the East Haven Police Department will now bill you for an excessive number of false alarms.

No More Than Five

Each system will be allowed up to five false alarms within a single calendar year. But anything over that — and you'll now face a fee.

The ability for police to bill for an excessive number of false alarms is covered by Town Ordinance #423 Sections 12-41 through 12-44, the department noted via its Facebook page.

Registration Reminder

The department is also reminding residents to register their business/residential alarm systems.

There  is a one-time $10 fee to register. And there is no charge if a system was previously registered.

"Also, please remember to contact us if any changes are made to your registration information (i.e. different alarm company, change of key holder information)," officers stated on the department's Facebook page.
