False-alarm charges
One false burglary alarm without penalty; later false alarms are assessed at city council-set amounts. A nonresponse warning follows the sixth false alarm and police response is discontinued after the eighth within 12 months or for unpaid assessments.
Police response
The city warns after the sixth false alarm in 12 months and discontinues police response after the eighth; unpaid penalty assessments can also cause nonresponse.
