False Alarm Reduction Program
The City of Lenoir Police Department asks all property owners with alarm systems to download, complete, and submit an Alarm Registration form. Each form will need to be notarized before the department can register your alarm. Police Department staff can help notarize the forms.
The purpose of the Alarm Registration program is to reduce the number of false alarm calls, which take up time and resources that could be spent patrolling the city or answering other legitimate calls. \he program is voluntary.
