False Alarm Reduction Program: Credit Card Payments for Alarm System Registration and Payments
""

The City of Wilmington and Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS) offers a free, easy and convenient way to register your home or business alarm system and to pay your yearly registration fee online.

In an effort to curb the excessive number of false alarms to which Wilmington police officers respond on a yearly basis, the City launched the False Alarm Reduction Program. All residential and business security alarm systems, whether or not they are monitored by a licensed security alarm company, must be registered with the City.

A $20.00 non-refundable registration fee must be paid with each registration form. The alarm system registration must occur upon activation of the alarm system and/or when an existing registered user relocates to a new location and activates an alarm system.
