As the number of electronic alarm
system installations increase, business owners, home owners, alarm monitoring personnel
and emergency response officials are spending valuable hours responding to false alarm
signals. Although alarm systems provide many positive benefits for users, false alarms
have become a major concern. On average, 90% of alarm dispatches are unnecessary, costing
taxpayers millions of dollars annually and wasting hours of response time.
In order to substantially reduce the number of false
alarms, we call your premises first to verify the need for police or fire response. The
appropriate authorities will be alerted unless other specific instructions have been
given.
Many cities are now requiring permits or have ordinance fees. Be sure to check with your local police jurisdiction to see if this applies to you. |
