(a) Permit: Every alarm user shall obtain an alarm user permit for each alarm system he operates within this village from the police chief. This subsection does not require that licensed alarm businesses obtain a permit under this section when it leases or provides services to alarm system users. If a licensed alarm business does, however, use an alarm system to protect its own premises, it shall obtain a permit for such system as required in this section.
(b) Alarm User Permit Application: The alarm user applying for the permit required in subsection (a) of this section, shall state on a permit application form to be prepared by the police department and approved by the village manager: his name, the address of the residence or business, or businesses in or upon which the alarm system has been or will be installed, his telephone number, the type of alarm system (local, direct connect, central station, etc.) the alarm business or businesses selling, installing, monitoring, inspecting, responding to and/or maintaining the alarm system, and the name and telephone number of at least one person (in the case of a corporate alarm user applicant, at least 2 persons) who can be reached at any time, day or night, and who is authorized to respond to an alarm signal and who can open the premises, in which the system is installed. (Ord. 0-84-04, 2-7-1984)
(c) Alarm User Permit Fee: There shall be a permit fee in the amount set forth in the annual fee resolution adopted by the corporate authorities. (Ord. 0-12-36, 10-1-2012)
(d) Inspection: The information contained in an alarm user permit application required by this section and other information received by the police chief through correspondence or communications with an alarm user shall be securely maintained and restricted to inspection only by the police chief or certain officers or village employees specifically assigned the responsibility for handling and processing alarm user permits in the course of official duties. The police chief or any employee of the village shall not reveal the information contained in an alarm user permit application or in correspondence or communications with an alarm user to any other person for any purpose not related to this article or official law enforcement matters and without the express written consent of the alarm user supplying such information.
(e) Violation: Any alarm system user who operates an alarm system without first obtaining a permit as required by this section, or who, after having a permit revoked, or suspended, and after exhausting his rights to hearing and appeal fails to disconnect his alarm system, shall be in violation of this article.
