Alarm Company Fines

1.) An Alarm Business that installs, causes to install, permits to install, alters, maintains, repairs, replaces, services, takes over, or monitors any Alarm System must ensure that the Alarm User’s Alarm System is registered with the False Alarm Reduction Unit at the time the Alarm System is activated or placed into service. Noncompliance with this requirement will result in the Alarm Business being fined $150.00 for each Alarm System and each Alarm Dispatch Request for an Alarm System that is not registered at the time the system is activated or placed into service.

2.) The Alarm Business shall be assessed a fine of $150.00 if an on-site employee of the Alarm Installation/Service Business directly caused the false alarm. In this situation, the false alarm will not be counted against the Alarm User. This type of false alarm will not be automatically waived, it is the responsibility of the Alarm User to file an appeal to the Alarm Administrator and provide documentation showing the Alarm Installation/Service Business employee was working on-site at the time of the alarm activation.

3.) The Alarm Monitoring Business shall be issued a fine of $150.00 for each failure to verify Alarm System signals as specified in section 7.0(A)(3).

4.) The Alarm Business shall be issued a fine of $150.00 if the Alarm Administrator determines that an Alarm Business employee knowingly made a false statement concerning the inspection of an alarm site or the performance of an Alarm System.
