The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) has launched an online application tool for submitting alarm system registrations and permits.

Citizens and alarm control companies will have the option to submit their alarm system permits online through a secure portal. While mail and in-person applications will still be accepted by the EPS Alarm Control Detail Unit, the online solution will offer a more convenient and faster process.

Who needs an alarm permit?

Any household or business within the City of Edmonton with an operating alarm system is required to have an alarm permit as per the City of Edmonton Alarm Systems Bylaw #10922.

Homeowners should check with the alarm company as they may submit alarm applications on their behalf.

Citizen online applications

Citizens can submit their online applications here.

After creating an account with a secure username and password, citizens will have access to the online portal where they can register alarm systems, apply for alarm permits, make payments for permits and false alarm fees, and view false alarm incidents and invoices.

*If you already have an existing alarm permit, you do NOT have to apply again. To access your alarm permit details online, please go to Account Registration using your alarm permit number to obtain a username and password.
