The Cornwall Police Service has implemented a new way to respond to alarm calls in the city, intended to cut down on the hundreds of false alarm calls they receive throughout the year.

Effective May 1st, 2023, the Cornwall Police Service (CPS) will be adjusting the way it responds to alarm calls for service in the City of Cornwall. The new “Verified Alarm Response Program” (VARP) will improve service delivery to residents and businesses in Cornwall.

Chief expects change in alarm response will reduce the number of false-alarm calls, ultimately saving officer time to allocate elsewhere.

Chief updates police services board on changes coming to operations to keep officers available for higher-priority calls.

New program aims to make sure there is a real emergency before officers are dispatched, police board hopes.
