Subd. 1. False alarm reports. The Chief may, at his or her discretion, require a false alarm report to be filed by the alarm user with the Public Safety Department, within a time period to be specified by the Chief. If the Chief determines that a false alarm has occurred at an address, the alarm user at that address may submit a written report to the Chief to explain the cause of the alarm activation. If the Chief determines that the alarm was caused by conditions beyond the control of the alarm user, the alarm will not be counted as a false alarm at that address.
Subd. 2. False alarms excused. False alarms will be excused if they are the result of an effort or order to upgrade, install, test or maintain an alarm system and if the Public Safety Department is given notice in advance of the upgrade, installation, test and maintenance.
