Loudoun County Alarm System Registration Now Available Online
If you are
Loudoun County Resident or

alarm the Loudoun County False Alarm Prevention Unit has unveil a
new online registration system .
This new website will allow home owners and businesses to resister
their contact information and view account history. It does not cost the
owners to register!!
According to the 2005 ordinance to protect alarm users from being
charged for occasional mistakes, the owners were allowed 2 false alarm
without penalty for each calendar year. The goal was to reduce the
number of false alarms so the department can spend time investigating
and previewing more serious problems.
The ordinance has been successful and false alarms have been reduced from 13,900 in FY04 to 7,513 in FY11.
Of the nearly 8,000 alarm calls in FY10, only 1 was a valid alarm .
A high percentage of alarm calls each year are triggered by user error
and entry/exit errors. As with most agencies, Loudoun County dispatches
two deputies on alarm calls. When totaled together, the time deputies
spent on false alarm calls in FY10 equates to a deputy working 24 hours a
day for more than 300 days on alarm calls only. The
Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office
urges homeowners and businesses to prevent false alarms by reviewing
proper alarm system operation with family members and employees. If an
alarm is accidentally triggered, users should contact the alarm company
promptly to cancel the alarm and prevent a deputy from being dispatched
unnecessarily.
