The Glendale Fire Department's residential lockbox program allows emergency personnel and police to access a key during medical or other emergencies requiring forced entry. This voluntary program is designed for residential properties, where a visible hanging lockbox facilitates access for emergency personnel.
A Senior aged 62 and older, or have a special need, or disability A resident of the City of Glendale Living alone with a chronic illness, at risk of falling, or have a history of emergency calls If you don't live alone, both must have the above criteria *Or are referred by Glendale Fire or Police
The Glendale Fire Department administers the program and assigns lockboxes individually. Information, installation details, and access instructions for each lockbox are securely stored within the emergency dispatch database systems of the City of Glendale Fire and Police Departments. This ensures confidential information storage and facilitates a systematic emergency response. Best of all, the program is free for qualifying residents.
It is important to note that installation of a residential lockbox does not provide homeowners with a "lockout service". Therefore, if a homeowner accidentally locks themselves out of their home, the City of Glendale will not use the lockbox program to grant access to the residence.
