The Board of Supervisors of the county hereby finds and determines that the regulation of false alarms is necessary to promote public health, welfare and safety as well as to necessarily reduce the waste of manpower and tax dollars in response to false alarms. The public is using alarm systems which either are not properly operated by their users or which mechanically malfunction resulting in an increase in false alarm reports thereby constituting a hazard to the safety of peace officers and the public in general.
