Annual Alarm Monitoring Charges:

• $75 and billed in January (instead of April);
• $25 late fee if not paid within 30 days of billing;
• Hackett Security charges nothing for connection to their equipment at the station
• Hackett Security will charge an annual fee of $39
• This charge is only for residents who have their alarms directly monitored by the City. Residents with unpaid annual alarm monitoring charges are subject to disconnection.

False Alarm Charges:
Under the new plan residents will have greater leniency with false alarms. The new charges are:

• First four (4) false alarms per month are free;
• Subsequent false alarms per month will be charged $25 per alarm;
• You will be subject to disconnection if you have six (6) or more false alarms per month or eight (8) or more false alarms per year.

To connect your existing or new alarm system:

• Visit City Hall and fill out the required paperwork and pay the $75 annual monitoring fee.
• Have your current alarm company program your alarm to send a signal to the Police Department when it activates.
• Contact Communications Supervisor, Gary McDaniel, at 314.994.9300 to be issued an account number and finalize the paperwork. Gary will then contact Hackett Security to advise them of the new connection.
