(a) No alarm holder shall allow more than three chargeable false alarms, as defined by Section 872.01(d) to be transmitted to public safety personnel during the immediately preceding one year calendar period. An alarm will be classified as false if the responding public safety personnel see not evidence of fire, robbery, burglary, vandalism, unauthorized intrusion or medical emergency.
(b) If the alarm holder proves that the alarm was caused by an event not reasonably foreseeable and which could not have been prevented by the proper adjustment or pre-setting of the sensor threshold, the alarm will be designated a nonchargeable false alarm. Such evidence shall be presented to the Director of Public Safety or designee, within fourteen days of the false alarm. Failure to provide the evidence in a timely manner shall exclude any consideration of the evidence.
(c) Whoever violates subsection (a) hereof, or any subparagraph thereof, is guilty of a minor misdemeanor in addition to any other fine or service charge provided by this chapter.
