Alarm Registration

The Summit Police Department has transitioned to a new platform, CivicPlus, for all alarm registrations. The new system will be open for registrations beginning on November 1, 2025. All current residents and businesses with alarm systems are asked to register and renew for the 2026 calendar year using the new platform. A reminder email will be sent in December to all current registrants regarding their 2026 renewals.
