Section 12-26 Purpose.
The city council has recognized a continuing problem with an inordinate number of unfounded calls for service, as that term is defined below, initiated by the activation of burglar alarm systems located at businesses and private residences within the city, causing interference with other duties of police officers and resulting in high costs to the city. There is hereby adopted by the city council this chapter to establish rules, regulations and penalties in connection with the use of burglar alarm systems in order to cause a reduction in the number of unfounded calls for service, to make more efficient the city police department’s ability to respond to burglar alarms, and to reduce the likelihood of police officer or citizen injury as a result of the emergency responses engendered by burglar alarms. (Ord. of 3-9-87, III)
