DIVISION 8. GOVERNMENT IMMUNITY

SEC. 11-77. GOVERNMENT IMMUNITY.

   Alarm registration is not intended to, nor will it create a contract, duty, or obligation, either expressed or implied, of response. Any and all liability and consequential damage resulting from the failure to respond to a notification is hereby disclaimed and governmental immunity as provided by law is retained. By applying for an alarm registration, the alarm user acknowledges that law enforcement response may be influenced by factors such as the availability of response resources, priority of calls, weather conditions, traffic conditions, emergency conditions, staffing levels, and prior response history.
