Chapter 10.48 False Alarms

Section 10.48.220 Suspension of Registration

  1. Any alarm user having more than three false alarm responses in any calendar year may, on the event of the fourth such incident, have his alarm registration suspended for ninety days or the balance of the year for which the registration is valid, whichever is greater. After the third false, it will be at the discretion of the radio dispatch supervisor to require an alarm user to respond with the police to the alarm site. If the alarm user for the alarm authorizes a non-response to repeated alarms (i.e. until he/she can initiate repairs), that information will be entered into a PIN for that address. An alarm registration suspension may be designated as a long term non-response consistent with Chapter 10.48 SMC with a PIN warning being entered for future non-response on alarm activations only.

  2. Any alarm user having annual registration and/or false alarm cost recovery fees past due in any year shall have his registration suspended until all outstanding fees have been paid in full.

  3. Furnishing false information on an alarm registration application is prohibited.

    1. On the first offense, the alarm administrator shall suspend the alarm user’s registration for thirty days.

    2. On the second offense, the alarm administrator shall suspend the alarm user’s registration for the remainder of the registration period.
