Latest version.

  • (1)

    Enhanced Call Verification . An Alarm Business shall not notify or alert the City's Emergency Communications Center that an Alarm System has been activated unless the Alarm Business completes the procedure for enhanced call verification.

    For purposes of this Chapter, "enhanced call verification" shall mean a monitoring procedure requiring that a minimum of two calls be made in an attempt to contact the alarm user prior to requesting a dispatch from the City's Emergency Communications Center. The two calls must be made to different phone numbers provided by the Alarm User.

    (2)

    Excessive False Alarms . No alarm user, having been sent each of the written notices for the third through tenth false alarms, as provided in Section 807-11, shall permit a false alarm to occur during the same calendar year. This section shall be construed to impose strict liability for all false alarms occurring after the notices in Section 807-11 have been sent.

    (3)

    Suspension of Response and Revocation of Registration . When an Alarm User or Alarm Business has $500 or more in delinquent fees outstanding, the City shall terminate the registration of the Alarm User or Alarm Business and any further requests for a police or fire response to the activation of an Alarm System shall be suspended.

    (4)

    Reinstatement of Registration . If the person pays all delinquent fees that remain outstanding, a person may request that the City reinstate a registration revoked under C.M.C. 807-13(3).

    (5)

    Enforcement of Provisions . All remedies shall be cumulative, and the use of one or more remedies by the city shall not bar the use of any other remedy for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this chapter. The amount of any penalty shall be deemed a debt to the city. An action may be commenced in the name of the city in any court of competent jurisdiction for the amount of any delinquency or penalty. All penalties shall be deemed delinquent 30 days after they are due and payable.
