A. When the sheriff's department is notified of an alarm activation by an alarm company, service or operator, the notifying party shall advise the sheriff's department if an authorized representative will respond to the alarm and, if so, if the representative will arrive within thirty minutes at the location of the alarm. If the department is advised there will be a response within thirty minutes, it shall constitute a civil infraction to fail to respond within the thirty-minute period.
B. If an alarm signal is received at a central station, the alarm company or service operating the central station shall, when it advises the sheriff's department of the alarm, also immediately notify the operator of the alarm system of the alarm.
C. An alarm company or service shall inform purchasers of alarm systems or services of the provision of this chapter. This provision shall not apply to alarm systems which generate only an audible alarm at the location of the alarm.
D. The alarm company or service shall maintain a record of alarm activation notification for a one-year period following notification. Records shall include the name and phone number of the person notified of the alarm activation, and the time notification was given.
