(A) After the Police or Fire Department has recorded two false alarms within any 30-day period or four in any 365-day period for any alarm user, the Department shall notify the alarm user and the alarm business providing service or inspection to the alarm user, in writing by first class mail, of such fact and require that the alarm user or the alarm business servicing the alarm user submit a report to the respective Chief within seven days after the mailing of the notice, which report shall describe efforts taken to discover and eliminate the cause or causes of the false alarms. Failure to submit such report within seven days shall constitute cause for revocation of the alarm system permit. If the Chief revokes the alarm system permit, then the Chief shall give a written notice by first class mail to the alarm user and the alarm business servicing the alarm user advising of such revocation.
(B) If the report required by this section fails to show that reasonable steps have been taken to eliminate or reduce false alarms, then the Chief may revoke the alarm system permit and shall give written notice of such revocation as provided for in this section of the chapter.
(C) An alarm user whose alarm system permit has been revoked is not precluded from applying for a new alarm system permit. The Chief, however, is not required to issue a new alarm system permit unless he or she is satisfied the alarm user’s system has been properly serviced and its deficiencies corrected. The Chief may impose reasonable restrictions and conditions upon the issuance of a new alarm system permit to an alarm user with respect to the particular system for which the alarm system permit was revoked.
