• False alarm fees per calendar year: The first three are free. All false alarms thereafter, through the end of the calendar year, are $229.00 each.
• The first false alarm call for unpaid renewals is $229.00 each.
• Alarm permits may be suspended, revoked, and/or police response discontinued.

Please complete the 2026 Alarm Permit and send payment with it to the Los Alamitos Police Department. If you have any questions, please contact Executive Assistant Veronica Wilson at 562-431-2255, ext. 401, or vwilson@cityoflosalamitos.org.
