The Carmel Police Department Records Division is responsible for issuing alarm permits to Carmel residences and businesses in accordance with city ordinance (Chapter 4, Article 3, Ordinance 4-72).
Carmel City Code (Chapter 4, Article 3, Ordinance 4-72) requires any audible, mechanical or electrical signal from a home or business detection system within the city limits to be registered with the Carmel Police Department. Further information can be obtained at carmel.in.gov. Go to Department & Services>Police>Permits, Forms and Fees>Alarm Permits.
If your home or business currently has an active alarm system and you have not obtained an alarm permit, please fill out the on line application for an alarm permit. Failure to obtain a permit may result in the issuance of a citation should police respond to that location for an alarm. Any questions or inquiries can be emailed to CPDRecords@carmel.in.gov or by contacting the Carmel Police Department Records Division at 317-571-2520, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday.
