Alarm Ordinance
Kansas City's alarm ordinance was implemented to reduce the number of police dispatches to false alarms. The ordinance encourages alarm users and alarm businesses to properly utilize alarm systems and to maintain their operational reliability. The ordinance requires that all alarm users obtain an alarm permit from the Police Department.  Police response on an alarm activation will be denied until the alarm user has obtained the alarm permit.

Alarm Permit Fee To obtain an alarm permit the alarm user will need to submit an alarm permit application along with the $45.00 permit fee. It can be mailed along with a check or money order made payable to the Board of Police Commissioners to : Kansas City Police Department  Alarm Administrator 1125 Locust Kansas City, MO  64106    Credit cards also are now accepted and can be taken over the phone, in person, or the card number mailed in with the permit.

Renewal Fee
The renewal fee is based on the number of false alarms occurring  at the site during the alarm permit year.  A false alarm is defined as “an alarm signal eliciting a police response when a situation requiring an immediate response does not in fact exist, such as no breach of security has been attempted or committed”.  Alarm renewal fees are assessed at the end of the alarm permit year.  Renewals are as follows:

     Business Permits              No false alarms during permit year                     Renews automatically at No Charge
     Residential Permits          Two or fewer false alarms during permit year    Renews automatically at No Charge
     Business Permits              Any false alarm dispatch                                        $49 per false alarm
     Residential Permits          Three to Five alarm dispatches                             $49 per false alarm, $147 per permit year

Revoked Alarm Permit
An alarm permit will be revoked if the alarm renewal fee is not received within the allotted time.

Suspended Alarm Permit
Business Permit holders that exceed 6 false alarms during the permit year will be required to attend a False Alarm Class
Residential Permit holders that exceed 6 false alarms during the permit year will be required to attend a False Alarm Class.
If the permit holder does not attend the False Alarm Class in a specified time frame the alarm permit will be suspended until the class is attended.
