A. An alarm system shall be deemed a nuisance if such alarm system code.

B. An alarm system shall be deemed a nuisance if such alarm system actuates five or more false alarms in a one-year period.

C. An alarm system shall be deemed a nuisance if such alarm, after an audible alarm is activated, does not automatically shut off within fifteen minutes after activation.

D. An alarm system may be deemed a nuisance alarm and a public nuisance if such an alarm system has been intentionally activated at least once to summon the police to an incident for which the alarm system was not intended. This may include, but not be limited to, a robbery alarm being intentionally activated for an incident which is not a robbery, or an alarm which is intentionally activated merely to see what police response would result.

E. Any officer or police aide of the police department is authorized to enter on exterior private property areas, for the purpose of silencing a nuisance alarm. Forcible entry may be made into exterior alarm equipment boxes, and attics and crawlspace vents, in order to accomplish this purpose. (Ord. 4649 § 1, 2011)
