Do I have to register a residential alarm in Abington Township?

No. Abington’s official form says the township ordinance does not require homeowners to register, although the Police Department recommends it and offers free residential registration.

Optional residential registration

  1. If you choose to register, open the optional residential registration form.
  2. Provide the protected-property address, alarm and monitoring company details, alarm type and emergency contacts.
  3. Submit the form using the township website.
