False Alarm Prevention

  • Become familiar with your alarm system and know your password.
  • Cancel false alarms immediately through your alarm company.
  • Before arming your system, make sure that all doors and windows are closed properly.
  • Make sure that all motion sensor areas are clear of any moving items (reflective materials, banners, fans and family pets can cause false alarms).
  • Everyone with access to your property should be familiar with your system and have a password.
  • Report any problems that you are experiencing with your alarm system to your alarm company.
  • Periodically, call your alarm company and the CCSO to make sure your emergency contact list is accurate and up to date.

  • Have your alarm system checked yearly by a certified alarm technician.
