Get Your Required Security Alarm Permit Online To Ensure Automatic Police Response In Oklahoma City

Press release from the City of Oklahoma City:

May 17, 2021

Be sure you’re getting the most out of the security alarm for your home or business by getting the permit online that allows for an automatic police response.

All security alarm systems in Oklahoma City require a permit, which you can buy online at crywolfservices.com/oklahomacityok. Police don’t investigate automatic alarms from security systems without a permit.

Hold-up alarms, panic alarms and fire alarms will always be investigated.

Police officers and firefighters depend on information from the permits to contact you in an emergency.

“We estimate that less than half of all active security alarm systems in Oklahoma City have a permit with us,” said police Maj. Beto Balderrama. “The online system we launched earlier this year makes it faster and easier to get a permit.

Alarm permits are $27 for the first year and $17 for renewals. Buy them online at crywolfservices.com/oklahomacityok, or call (833) 281-8738.

Excessive false alarms

Home and business owners with a permit are allowed three false alarms annually. Fines for the fourth and fifth false alarm are $82 for police and $135 for fire. The permit is revoked after six false alarms.

Of the 50,000 security alarm calls Oklahoma City police respond to every year, about 98% are false.
