§ 10-806. SILENCING ALARM SYSTEMS.  


Latest version.
  • Upon notification by the Alarm Officer that an alarm system is activated, the subscriber, his representative, or his alarm agent, shall immediately proceed to silence the alarm, and the silencing shall be completed within thirty minutes of such notification. Alternately, the alarm system may be equipped with an automatic shutoff device which shall silence the alarm within thirty minutes, thus eliminating the need for personal responses otherwise required by this section. Should an alarm fail to be silenced by any means described in this section within the time limits prescribed by this section, the Police Department shall have the authority to hire an alarm agent or alarm company operator to silence the alarm. All costs and expenses incurred by the Police Department in hiring an alarm agent or alarm company operator to silence the alarm shall be borne by the subscriber. (Added Ord. 82-96, § 1, eff. 10-1-82; Am. Ord. 85-148, § 1, eff. 11-1-85).
