Cry Wolf

​Law Enforcement personnel respond to thousands of false alarm calls yearly. These unnecessary responses result in an enormous burden in manpower and expense; which in turn reduces the time available to respond to real emergencies. There is no fee to register, however, alarms must be registered on an annual basis. If an alarm occurs on a system that is not registered the alarm service user will be subject to a $150 non-registration fee for being in violation of the City Ordinance.

Smart911

The Atlanta Police Department has unveiled a system it says will greatly improve the ability of first responders to help people who need help from police, fire and emergency services. 

Smart911 allows citizens to provide the department with a household safety profile that provides dispatchers with information to help understand a situation. People can provide such information as household member names, ages and photos, disabilities and medications needed.

Anyone in Atlanta can create a free profile by visiting www.smart911.com
