The City Council hereby finds that the regulation of the sale and installation of alarm systems and the control of false alarms is necessary to promote the health, welfare and safety of the people in that the sale and installation of substandard alarm equipment and false alarms arising therefrom constitute a hazard to the safety of peace officers and the public in general. False burglary and robbery alarms enhance the dangers of automobile collisions en route to burglary or robbery alarms, substantially increase peace officer hours costs and divert police resources from regularly assigned duties.
