The Wellington County OPP responds to false intrusion alarms every year. It is found that most of the At Fault False Alarms are activated by faulty equipment or human error. The Wellington County OPP Detachment Board and the Wellington County OPP will work toward reducing the number of At Fault False Alarms requiring police response by monitoring alarm locations and issuing fee invoices to the owners of premises having At Fault False Alarms.
View the At Fault False Alarm Reduction Policy for more information. Fees can be found on our Fees & Charges webpage under Police Services Fees.
