The purpose of this chapter is to provide minimum standards and regulations applicable to burglar, fire, and holdup alarm systems, alarm businesses, and alarm users. Both society in general and public safety in particular will be aided by providing a useful and usable system of private security which properly balances quick response by law enforcement with minimization of law enforcement time spent on alarms which are false or otherwise not the intended function of private security systems.
