Nassau County Alarm permit
CSG's guide to obtaining a Nassau County Burglar Alarm permit.
   

Security Systems save local police departments millions of dollars in operating expense because they deter crime. By detering crime, police departments need less man-hours investigating burglaries, and they are able to quickly apprehend perpetrators.  

However, in order for the police department to work efficiently and to reduce false alarms, alarm permits are sometimes required.  

If the area your home or building is located in Nassau County and served by the Nassau County Police Department, need to have a current Burglar alarm permit on file. To get the permit, you will need to give the police department some basic information. The information is supposed to assist the police in identifying the location of your house, facilitate the job of the 911 operator, and speed of the dispatching of a patrol car.

If your city or village is not served by the Nassau County Police Department, such as Hempstead, Glen Cove, Old Brookville, Freeport, or Kings Point, then you do not need a permit.

Please use the information below to guide you in obtaining your alarm permit. The application is in Adobe Acrobat format. Mail the application along with the fee directly to the Nassau County Police Department in Mineola, NY.

After you receive your permit number, call your alarm dealer and give him the permit number. It is important that your alarm dealer maintains the permit number on file.
