This chapter shall be known as the "Village
of Siren Alarm Systems Ordinance."
The purpose of this chapter is to provide minimum
standards and regulations applicable to burglar, fire and holdup alarm
systems, alarm businesses and alarm users. Both society in general
and public safety in particular will be aided by providing a useful
and usable system of private security which properly balances quick
response by law enforcement with minimization of law enforcement time
spent on alarms which are false or otherwise not the intended function
of private security systems.
Within this chapter, the following terms, phrases
and words and their derivations shall have the meanings given herein:
SUBSCRIBER
A person who buys or leases or otherwise obtains an alarm
system and thereafter contracts with or hires an alarm business to
monitor and/or service the alarm system.
The Village of Siren shall be under no duty
or obligation to a subscriber or to any other person concerning any
provision of this chapter, including but not limited to any defects
in an alarm system or any delays in transmission or response to any
alarm; however, this in no way shall be construed that it is not the
proper function of law enforcement to respond to alarms.
