2. ENFORCEMENT of ORDINANCE

Definition: An agency’s diligent effort to enforce all elements of the false alarm ordinance.>

COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS:

Enforcement of the alarm ordinance results in lower dispatch rates.

Uniform enforcement clarifies the rules for the public, the industry, and law enforcement. All segments of the community should be treated equally; residential, commercial, schools, municipal buildings and financial institutions. Many coordinators noted that selective enforcement undermines the entire process ?particularly when local politics shield city buildings and schools from enforcement.

It is the consensus of all four Model States Coordinators that strict enforcement results in lower dispatch rates, as observed in 21 of 24 cities with largest reductions in false dispatches.

 

The Model States experience cites the following examples:

Pinecrest Florida Police Department began enforcing an ordinance that was in effect for the previous nine months and realized a 36% reduction in the first 3 months of enforcement.

Lack of enforcement of ordinance provisions will negatively affect false dispatch reduction, i.e. Olympia Washington experienced a substantial increase in false alarms during the 1998 primary due to a low enforcement priority.

 

3. REGISTRATION/PERMITS

Definition: The recording of all essential information necessary to track performance of, and establish responsibility for individual alarm system use as related to the alarm user and alarm installation and monitoring companies.
