§ 11-162. Discontinuance of response

The city manager or his authorized representative may discontinue response by the police and fire departments to any location of an alarm system ten (10) days from the date that written notice to the alarm user has been mailed or delivered in person. Such discontinuance may be implemented when the alarm user:

(1) Has been assessed six (6) false alarm service charges within a twelve-month (12) period; or

(2) Has failed to pay any such false alarm service charge within thirty (30) days.

Upon discontinuance, police or fire personnel shall respond to that location only when an individual requesting assistance has verified that there is a fire, crime in progress or other extreme emergency necessitating response. Reinstatement of alarm response may occur when the alarm user has eliminated or corrected the problem and all false alarm service charges have been paid.
