YOU MAY BE CHARGED FOR EXCESSIVE FALSE ALARMS
False alarms prevent police from attending to real emergencies and waste valuable police resources as well as erode the
effectiveness of alarm systems. Resolving and preventing false alarms is a joint responsibility of the alarm user and the
alarm company. Identify the cause of every false alarm and contact your alarm company for alarm system maintenance
and/or additional training in how to properly avoid future problems.
