When a police officer responds to an alarm activation, and
after investigation finds no evidence of criminal activity, the Officer will
designate the alarm signal as a false alarm.
False alarms are costly and dangerous because they divert
police officers from proactive crime prevention efforts. They also delay
response to calls that may be true emergencies.
Are a nuisance to you and your neighbors.
Make your security system less reliable.
Make you reluctant to use your system.
Every year our police department responds to thousands of
false alarms in our community.
In fact, 99% of all alarm calls in year 2006 and 2007 were false.
This amounts to approximately 11% of all calls for service.
In a community like ours that is the equivalent of one Police Officer responding to only false alarm calls exclusively for a year.
