The county shall take every reasonable precaution to ensure that alarm signals and prerecorded alarm messages received by the Sheriffs Department are given appropriate attention and are acted upon with dispatch. Nevertheless, the county shall not be liable for any defects in operation of any alarm type of system, for any failure or neglect to respond appropriately upon receipt of an alarm, nor for the failure or neglect of any person in connection with the installation and operation of equipment, the transmission of alarm signals and prerecorded alarm messages, or the relaying of such signals and messages. This subchapter shall not create any legal duty obligating the county to accept the installation of a remote annunciator on the premises of the Sheriffs Department, continue the connection of any alarm system to the Sheriffs Department, or respond or accord any priority to an alarm from an activated alarm system.
