False Alarm Reduction Program Bylaw No. 1382
ALL home and business alarm systems in the Central Okanagan must be registered with an
annual alarm permit with RDCO.
The False Alarm Reduction Program Alarm Bylaw No. 1382 operated by the Regional District of Central Okanagan
on behalf of the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West Electoral areas and all local governments in
the Central Okanagan (City of Kelowna, District of West Kelowna, District of Lake Country, District of Peachland and
Westbank First Nation.)
To become registered:
- You complete the permit registration form above
- Pay for your permit fee online or by mail
Definition of a False Alarm: An alarm activation that the police (RCMP) attend and find no evidence of criminal activity.
Why you should have a permit with the False Alarm Reduction Program.
- Bylaw No. 1382 applies to Lake Country, Kelowna, West Kelowna, Westbank First Nation and Peachland
that states if you have an alarm system you are required to have a permit with the False Alarm Reduction
Program.
- Helps reduce the number of false alarms the RCMP attends each year, freeing police resources.
- For more information about the RDCO Alarm Bylaw No. 1382 please refer to the False Alarm Reduction Program and read the BylayNo. 1382
Who should have told you that you require an alarm permit?
- When an alarm company installs a new alarm system they are to advise you, their client, of the Security
Alarm Bylaw.
- Many security companies registered you for your permit and charge you directly for the first year. After the
first year, if you did not pay your renewal invoice, your account would have become unregistered.
