- DescriptionKamloops City Council has adopted a new Security Alarm System Bylaw aimed at reducing excessive false alarm calls, improving the use of police resources, and ensuring the costs associated with repeated false alarms are borne by those responsible rather than taxpayers. The new bylaw will come into effect on September 1, 2026. In 2025, the RCMP responded to 840 alarm-related calls in Kamloops, with approximately 68% determined to be false alarms. These responses accounted for an estimated 590 hours of RCMP time and more than $61,000 in policing costs.
