(A) Law enforcement response. Whenever an alarm is activated in the unincorporated area of the county and the Sheriff does respond to the alarm, a law enforcement officer on the scene of the activated alarm system shall inspect the area and shall determine whether the law enforcement response was in fact necessary as indicated by the alarm system or whether the alarm was a false alarm within the meaning of this chapter.
(B) Notification. If the law enforcement officer at the scene of an activated alarm system determines the alarm to be false within the meaning of this chapter, the officer shall make a report of the false alarm to the person designated by the Sheriff to receive the reports.
(C) Inspection. The Sheriff or his or her designee shall have the right to inspect any alarm system on the premises to which a law enforcement response has been made at any reasonable time thereafter to determine whether the alarm is being used in conformity with the terms of this chapter.
