Homes and businesses in the City of Suwanee 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 Suwanee when 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 administered by the Gwinnett County Police Department False Alarm Reduction Program through the CryWolf portal. Alarm users can register their systems, review false alarm history, and pay any assessed fees online.
