(a) It is the purpose of this section to prevent the disruption and interference with the telephone communications systems of the Police Department and the Fire Department of the Township by allowing alarm systems which, when activated, connect with the communication facilities of the Police Department and the Fire Department of the Township by means of the Department's telephone system.
(b) No person engaged in the business of providing communication services and facilities, or any other person, shall use or operate, attempt to use or operate, or cause to be used or operated, or arrange, adjust, program or otherwise provide or install, any device or combination of devices that will, upon activation, either mechanically, electronically or by other automatic means, initiate the telephone number assigned to the Township, or any of the departments of the Township, provided, however, that this section shall not apply to any public law enforcement agency.
(c) The term "telephone number," as used in this section, includes any additional numbers assigned by a public utility company engaged in the business of providing communications services and facilities to be used by means of a rotary or other system to connect with the Township or any of its departments to such primary number when the primary telephone number is in use.
