The purpose and intent of this chapter is to protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City. Responding to false alarms depletes the limited resources, people and equipment, with which the City has to respond to emergencies. Further, increased development in the City creates additional demands on the resources of the Police and Fire Department. Therefore, in order to protect the residents of the City by maximizing the limited resources available to the City, this section attempts to encourage alarm users to properly maintain and use their alarm systems.
