In 2006 and 2007, the New Braunfels Police Department had over 2700 alarms each year, out of which 99% were deemed false. The New Braunfels Police Department spent over 1,000 police hours each year responding to false alarms. In other words, one officer would have to devote every minute of their available time for a year to be able to respond to all of the false alarm calls. |

Are you operating under the false assumption that false alarms are just another “cost of doing business?” |
|
Do you think every commercial institution and residence is always entitled to an unlimited police response for false alarms? |
|
Are you at risk when police are used to responding to chronic false alarms and a real emergency happens at your location? |
|
The reality is that police resources are limited and should never be wasted. Thousands of police patrol hours are spent investigating alarm reports that turn out to be “False Alarms.” |
|
Alarm companies and alarm users must be responsible for the use and maintenance of alarm systems to help ensure prompt police response when an emergency really does exist. |
