789.03 LEGISLATIVE INTENT.
   The imposition of police protection fees under this article is pursuant to authorization set forth in West Virginia Code 8-13-13. In accordance with such statute, it is the legislative intent of this article that the fees imposed hereunder are based, in part, upon recognition of the following legislative findings:
   (a)    That the demand for police protection is greater for plants, business and institutional premises due to a higher incidence of criminal activity pertaining to the same and therefore requires more surveillance and general police protection.
   (b)    That the demand for police protection for residential users in comparison to commercial and institutional users is less due to a lower incidence of criminal activity therefore requiring less surveillance and general police protection.
