Alarm Monitoring Service with the HPDPS

The Town of Highland Park requires that residents and businesses within the town limits of Highland Park register their alarm. The Highland Park Department of Public Safety offers direct alarm monitoring, which bypasses the need for a separate monitoring center and speeds up response time in case of an activation. The fees are $28 for alarm signal monitoring by landline telephone, $35 for cellular line service, or $35 for a cellular line with landline service as backup. Fees are conveniently billed through utility billing.
