The public has purchased alarm systems which either mechanically malfunction or are not operated properly by their users, causing an increase in false alarm reports which require an immediate response from the Police Department, thus needlessly diverting limited police resources. The purpose of this chapter is to set forth regulations governing the use of alarm systems, require permits therefor, establish fees, and provide penalty for violations of provisions of this chapter.
