How do I avoid paying a fee for having the police respond to a false alarm?
Many municipalities now charge fees when police are dispatched to respond to false alarms. By-laws vary from one municipality to another. * Check with your municipality to find out about current by-laws. * Be sure that all system users have a good understanding of how to operate the system. * Avoid leaving objects in the home that could move or blow about and set off an alarm (balloon etc.). * Pets can be given free reign of the house as long as proper motion detectors are in place to avoid high dispatch fees, a Guard Response Service (available in most regions). When an alarm is triggered, we will dispatch a uniformed guard to the premise to assess the situation and take the necessary measures.
