§ 807-1-F. False Alarm.
"False alarm" shall mean the activation of any Alarm System which is not the result of an actual or threatened emergency requiring an immediate Police response. False alarms include negligently or accidentally activated alarms or signals; alarms or signals which are the result of faulty, malfunctioning, or improperly installed or maintained equipment; and signals which are purposely activated to summon police or emergency services in non-emergency situations. Multiple occurrences due to equipment malfunction within a 24-hour period of activity constituting false alarms may be considered one false alarm for the purposes of this chapter.
