Security Permits in Cranston RI

[Warren West]

I bought a SimpliSafe system and the email they sent me said that you may need to register a security system with the town/city you live in.  I googled and found that Providence is now requiring this with a $10 a year fee attached to it.  Does anyone know if Cranston also requires this?  What about being in Providence County?

On a side note has anyone seen good sized discounts on home insurance due to a security system?  I'll be doing a house hack on a duplex and until I fill it monitoring the entire house.  Once filled, I will probably keep the system on my unit alone.  Curious if the monthly cost of the system can be subsidized with a discount on insurance.
