East Baton Rouge Louisiana “Renewal” Letters
Alarm users in East Baton Rouge Parish are reminded that it’s time to renew their alarm permits before the May 31st expiration date. This annual requirement helps ensure compliance with the city’s false alarm ordinance and keeps emergency response records up to date.
Last year, many residents were surprised to receive a “Renewal Letter” and raised concerns about whether it was legitimate. The East Baton Rouge Police Department confirmed that the letter was not a scam but part of a new process managed by the city’s contracted billing partner. The purpose of that letter was to confirm contact information—not to collect payment.
This year, permit renewals are going out again, and it’s important that users take action by the deadline. If you or your clients receive a letter or email about renewing, be sure to follow the instructions and verify your information through the FAMS-East Baton Rouge City-Parish False Alarm Reduction Program portal.
Alarm companies are encouraged to notify their end-users about the renewal deadline. If any confusion arises—especially if someone mistakenly submits a payment due to last year’s letter—they should contact the BRPD Alarm Enforcement Division directly at 225-389-3805 for clarification or assistance.
Staying current with your alarm permit not only ensures compliance but also helps reduce delays in emergency response.
