Alarm Ordinance

For each of the last several years, the Vacaville Police Department has responded to nearly 6,000 false alarms. While responding to false alarms, officers are not dealing with real crime and traffic issues in our community. The recent amendments to our alarm ordinance are designed to reduce the number of false alarms, allow officers to focus on real crimes, and make our responses to real alarm activations safer and more efficient. 

False alarms are preventable! Working together, alarm users and the Police Department can help keep Vacaville safe. For more information on how you can prevent false alarms, download our Alarm Brochure.

The alarm ordinance changes, which took effect on January 14, 2005, include mandatory registration of alarm systems. Monitored alarm systems may be registered with the city or you may work with your alarm company to handle the registration. To register monitored and non-monitored alarms with the city please download the registration form, fill it out completely, and mail it with a check for $25.00 to:
