Alarm Registry

Home security systems are a great way to help protect yourself and your loved ones. They are also a great way to scare away would-be criminals. But did you know that the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) responds to all activated alarms, including false alarms where you or a family member accidently sets off the alarm system? These false alarms take up officers' time and take them away from other patrol duties.
