Burglar & Hold-Up Alarm Licensing

An "alarm agent" is someone who works for an "alarm business" in your Rhode Island. Alarm businesses install, maintain, repair, and sell alarm systems. Alarm systems are devices that can detect break-ins and signal for help from police or security guards. This law does not cover fire alarms, temperature or humidity alarms, or closed-circuit television systems. Electrical or telecommunication licenses are required to work on those systems.
