§ 14-26. Alarm call verification, canceling false alarms and false alarm prohibition.

(a)

Alarm call verification. All residential or commercial intrusion and/or, burglar alarms, that have central monitoring, must have a central monitoring verification call made to the premises generating the alarm signal, prior to alarm monitor personnel contacting the police department for dispatch. This does not apply to panic or holdup type alarms. Alarm monitoring companies will make available to the police department upon request, records providing proof that the monitoring company made the verification calls.

(b)

Canceling false burglar alarm calls. Alarm monitoring companies that notify the village police department prior to the arrival of an officer shall be considered a canceled false alarm. Alarm monitoring companies will make available to the police department records providing proof that the police department was contacted prior to the arrival of the officer. An emergency line has been provided by the police department to call in and, or, cancel panic or holdup type alarms. Use of this line for non-emergency alarm calls is prohibited.

(c)

False burglar alarms prohibited. No burglar alarm user shall cause, allow, or permit the burglar alarm system to give four or more false alarms in any registration period.
