Register A Burglar Alarm

If you are a home owner or renter you may want to request that the Miami Beach Police Department is included as the first point of contact for notification once the alarms is activated. This will help reduce the patrol officer’s response time and may aid in crime prevention.

What about false alarms?

PMAM is responsible for administering the City’s False Alarm Program. Alarm registrations and false alarm penalty payments are processed by PMAM.

What if I move or my business relocates or closes?
