Alarm Permits & Emergency Call Form 

If any resident or business in the city limits has an alarm system on their home (ADT, Xfinity, etc) the owner must obtain an alarm permit from the City at the cost of $30 per year. The permit is to be filled out and provided to the Oil City Police Department along with the $30 fee. These forms are to be renewed annually when invoices are mailed in March.

Emergency call forms are suggested to be filled out by all businesses in the city so that authorities can contact you for the following reasons:

1. If your business is found to have an open door, window, etc during a security patrol
2. In the event of an emergency such as a fire, burglary, etc at your business location

It is essential to notify the police department of any changes or if the business closes so that records can be updated promptly.
