Homes and businesses in the City of Duluth that fall under the responding jurisdiction of the Gwinnett County Police Department must comply with the county’s Alarm Systems Ordinance. This ordinance requires security alarm systems to be registered and establishes a false alarm reduction program with specific fees and penalties. Below are key resources, registration details, and the current false alarm fee schedule.
Gwinnett County’s Alarm Systems Ordinance applies to alarm users in Duluth where the Gwinnett County Police Department responds to security alarm calls. The ordinance requires each alarm site (address) to maintain a valid alarm registration and authorizes the county to assess escalating fees for repeated false alarms.
The program is managed by the Gwinnett County Police Department False Alarm Reduction Program via the CryWolf portal. Alarm users can register their systems, review false alarm activity, and pay any applicable fees through the system.

False alarm fees for Duluth alarm users whose calls are handled by the Gwinnett County Police Department are calculated on a calendar-year basis. The schedule below reflects the current policies of the False Alarm Reduction Program.
Extra fees may apply when an alarm system is unregistered (an additional $25 per false alarm after the first warning) or if a site’s registration is revoked and reinstated due to chronic false alarms.
