Title 5 - Business Licenses and Regulations

10. J.
    False alarm means an alarm signal, eliciting an urgent response by police when a situation requiring an urgent response does not, in fact, exist, but does not include an alarm signal caused by violent conditions of nature. A false alarm may be the result of, but not limited to, mechanical or electronic failure, malfunction, improper installation, improper adjustment, accidental tripping, misoperation, misuse, defect or negligence of a person. The burden of proving that such alarm was not a false alarm shall be on the alarm user.
