Question #7 / How do I register my home alarm system?

From Melanie, "How do I go about registering my home alarm system with the Police Department? I was given the number 916-874-4616, but it is not a valid number."

That is the correct number to call. It is the Sacramento County Sheriff's Alarm Bureau, who also handles all alarm-related issues for the City of Rancho Cordova.

If you call the number and get a voicemail, you can press 7 and speak to a person during business hours (9:00 am - 4:00 pm Monday through Friday). You may also download the Rancho Cordova Police Department Permit Application by going to the link below:

Question #6 / Where can a tow truck park?

From Phyllis, “Where is a tow drive driver to park his truck? My husband received a ticket for parking it on the street.”


The City of Rancho Cordova has a commercial vehicle parking ordinance (RCMC 10.24.075) which requires vehicles over 10,001 lbs gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), or over twenty feet in length, or over seven and half feet in height, to park off the public roadway in residential areas. This would include almost all tow trucks.

Your husband may park his tow truck in the commercial areas of Fitzgerald and Luyung or Recycle Road.
