The purpose of this subchapter is to encourage security, fire or medical alarm users and alarm businesses (including, but not limited to, sales, installation and/or monitoring) to maintain the operational reliability and the proper use of alarm systems so as to limit unnecessary police, fire and emergency medical responses to false alarms and alarm malfunctions. This subchapter governs burglary, robbery, intrusion, fire and medical emergency false alarms, provides for service fees for excessive false alarms and unauthorized burns, and provides for assessing service fees to the property taxes in lieu of issuance of citations.
