In 2002, the Charlotte County Commission approved an ordinance requiring that all businesses and residences that have an alarm installed must register that fact with the Sheriff's Office. It is the responsibility of the Alarm Coordinator to track the alarm registrations, collect the registration fees and send out the re-registration notices.

In 2004, in an effort to curtail the number of false alarm calls that the Sheriff's Office must respond to, the Commission amended the ordinance to allow for deputies to issue warnings and citations to locations having false alarms. The Alarm Coordinator is also responsible for maintaining the data concerning the number of warnings and citations issued for false alarms.
