All alarm devices and local alarms shall have an automatic shut-off which will deactivate the sound, light, or beacon signal of an alarm device or local alarm within one-half hour after the commencement of the sound, light, or beacon signal. The police may enter the premises to deactivate the sound, light, or beacon signal which has not been shut off within one- half hour of activation and which disturbs surrounding residents or premises. Such deactivation by police or fire shall be taken only after reasonable efforts have been made by the police to contact the owner of the local alarm or the alarm holder or his delegate, as the case may be. Neither the police nor the city shall be liable for any damages resulting from such deactivation.
