No person shall conduct or test any audio alarm device without
first obtaining permission from the Police Department.
The issuance of any permit shall not constitute acceptance by
the Borough of Trainer of any liability to maintain any equipment,
to answer alarms, nor otherwise render the Borough liable to any person
for any loss or damage relating to the alarm system or procedure.
Administration and enforcement of this chapter shall be functions
of the Borough of Trainer and shall include the following:
A. Authority to accept or reject a permit application or revoke a permit
because of a misrepresentation or false statement contained in any
application for a permit, failure to correct any deficiencies in equipment
or operation of an alarm device after receipt of due notice from the
Borough or not meeting other conditions and specifications of this
chapter.
B. Authority to order the disconnection of an alarm device until such
device is made to comply with operational standards set forth herein,
but only when evidence of failure to comply with said standards imposes
a burden upon the Borough as a result of false alarms.
C. Authority, at reasonable times and upon written notice, to enter
upon any premises within the Borough to inspect the installation and
operation of an alarm device.
Whenever, under the provisions of this chapter, the Police Department
is empowered to make a decision with respect to the installation,
operation or maintenance of any alarm device or with respect to the
denial or revocation of any permit relating thereto, any applicant
for a permit or permit holder aggrieved by such decision may, within
10 days following the decision, file a written appeal therefrom with
the Borough Council for the Borough of Trainer, whereupon the Borough
Council shall promptly conduct a hearing and affirm, modify or reverse
the decision appealed from. The decision of the Borough Council shall
be final.
