Pay False Alarm Fees
Montgomery County Law Enforcement personnel respond to thousands of false alarm calls yearly. These unnecessary responses result in an enormous burden in manpower and expense; which in turn reduces the time available to respond to real emergencies.
To learn more about the Montgomery County alarm law or False Alarm Reduction Section (FARS) of the Montgomery County Department of Police, visit our Burglary Alarm page. You have the option to pay false alarm fees four different ways: online, by mail, by phone, or in person.
