Every false dispatch is billed
Los Angeles no longer responds to alarms free of charge.
As of May 4, 2026, permit holders pay $260 for the first false alarm, $310 for the second, $360 for the third and $410 for each after. Without a permit, the steps are $360, $460, $560 and $660. Completing LAPD Alarm School lets a permit holder waive one charge every 365 days.
LAPD’s verified burglar alarm policy also applies: after two false activations within a rolling year, an alarm must be verified before officers are sent.
Video helps. Cameras give our operators more to go on when an alarm needs verification.
