Alarm Registrations

Dear Borough Resident or Business Owner;

            The Far Hills Police Department responds to a considerable amount of alarm activations each year. We encourage all residents and business owners to maintain various security, fire, medical and carbon monoxide alarm systems. The police department also encourages you to regularly test these systems and arrange for routine maintenance or inspection of your systems by a professional service company in order to keep them operating at optimal levels of reliability.

Unfortunately some of the responses to these alarms are hampered by the officers discovering gated entries or access to driveways which need codes to gain entry to the driveway. Many of the residents or business owners have provided the access code so that emergency equipment may gain access without causing any property damage. Some residents or business owners have not provided these codes and we strongly suggest that you include these to maintain the fastest response to your property.

The Borough of Far Hills has passed an ordinance making it mandatory that all alarm systems are registered with the Police Department. Please find attached a basic Alarm Registration Form. You must fill this out and return the form with a check payable to the Borough of Far Hills for the amount of twenty dollars ($20.00).

Send your payment and Alarm Registration Form to:

Chief Ken Hartman

Far Hill Police Department

Box 722

Far Hills NJ 07931

If you would like a copy of the Alarm Ordinance feel free to contact the Borough.

Thank you,

Chief Kenneth Hartman
