City of Asheville residents and businesses are required to register their alarm systems (effective May 17, 2022.) This includes systems that do not use an alarm monitoring agency.

The alarm system permit fee is $25.00, with an annual renewal fee of $10.00. Additionally, there will be no penalty for registered alarm system owners for the first two false alarms. A series of graduated fines start on the third false alarm with a $50 penalty and increasing with successive false alarms. Failing to register an alarm could result in a $100 fine. Alarm permits or alarm systems must be obtained from the Asheville Police Department.

You may go to our website for more information on the Alarm Ordinance and to register your alarm - https://www.ashevillenc.gov/service/get-a-security-alarm-permit/

**June 2021, an amended alarm ordinance based upon the Security Industry Alarm Coalition's (SIAC) best practices, was adopted by Asheville City Council. In conjunction with the ordinance, CryWolf took ownership of the alarm system management and billing.

Having this service outsourced will prove to be an efficient and economical means to reduce false alarms, supporting both the alarm owner and the police. The ultimate goal for the City is to reduce false alarms, not to collect fees.

We are often asked why we do not sell/install Ring devices (and other brands of consumer "security" products). This is but one example as to why...

Federal Trade Commission says Ring illegally surveilled customers and did not do enough to prevent hacking. Proposes $5.8 in consumer refunds.

The phrase, "We found a company that would do it cheaper", summed up in a photo.
Yes, that camera (and several others) is actually mounted to a piece of wood, that is painted black, and tie wrapped to the SPRINKLER PIPES! 🤦‍♂️
