The service allows deputies and emergency services, responding to calls at your business, access to contact information of key holders. Access to this information is restricted to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office and other emergency services. Businesses that have alarm systems DO NOT need to register for the key holder program, however, they are still required to register their security alarm.
