The Sheriff's Office through the False Alarms Reduction Administrator, Ron Kramer, <br />(569-6700, ext. 266) administers this ordinance which becomes effective June 1, 1999. <br />In the administration of the ordinance the Sheriff has issued an "Information <br />Brochure" which apparently was mailed to alarm users by form letter dated April 28, <br />1999. <br />You have received an inquiry concerning a portion of the brochure which reads as <br />follows: <br />In an effort to reduce the false alarms, your alarm company is required, by <br />law, to take cert -;n proactive measures. <br />x x x <br />3. Your alarm company must not request a police dispatch activation until the <br />alarm system is properly registered <br />The ordinance provides "no alarm user shall operate or cause to be operated, an alarm <br />system at it's alarm site without a valid alarm permit...." Therefore, if an alarm <br />company or user has failed for some reason to have the system properly registered and <br />an alarm is received it would appear prudent and consistent with the ordinance to have <br />the law enforcement agency respond to the alarm and then fine the guilty parry rather <br />than prohibit the alarm company from requesting police dispatch. <br />A copy of the information is returned with this memorandum. <br />TPO/sw <br />Enclosure <br />1 <br />�tjeriff <br />GARY C.
