8.64.130 Suspension of Sheriff's Department Response to Alarm Sites.
A. The Alarm Administrator shall notify the Sheriff's Department and alarm agreement holding company of each alarm user whose alarm registration qualifies for suspension under this Chapter. The Alarm Administrator may suspend an alarm registration if it is determined that:
1. The alarm user has had three or more false burglar alarms within the one-year registration period, except that the Alarm Administrator or Sheriff's Department designee may waive a suspension of a registration upon receipt of documented work orders showing reasonable attempts to repair the alarm system prior to the notice of suspension;
2. There is a false statement of a material fact in the registration application; or
3. The alarm user failed or refused to pay an alarm registration or alarm registration renewal fee, false alarm fee, late fee, or any other fee or fine assessed under this Chapter.
B. It is a violation of this Chapter for a monitoring company or any individual with a self-monitored alarm site to make an alarm dispatch request to a burglar alarm site that is suspended. The monitoring company or individual with a self-monitored alarm site must pay a fine to the Alarm Administrator for each such dispatch to an alarm site. If the penalty is not paid to the Alarm Administrator within 60 days, a late fee is hereby imposed. (See PCC 8.64.190, Fees and Fines Schedule.)
C. Unless there is an independent indication that there is a crime in progress, Sheriff's Department Communications may not dispatch a deputy to an alarm site for which an alarm registration is suspended.
D. If an alarm registration is reinstated, the Sheriff's Department may again suspend the alarm registration if it is determined that 2 false alarms have occurred within 180 days after the reinstatement date.
E. This subsection applies to alarm systems, except holdup alarms, robbery alarms and panic alarms, which are subject to suspension at the discretion of the Sheriff's Department.
