Cost Increases For False Alarm Calls
Friday, 12 March 2010 09:05
Approximately 800 in every 1100 alarm calls to the Timmins Police are false alarms. Timmins Police Chief Richard Laperriere is looking to decrease that number because of the amount of resources that are wasted by responding to such a high number of false alarms. The Timmins Police Services board passed a bylaw that would no longer see business and homeowners charged for a false alarm, but have raised the fee from 50 to 75-dollars that will be charged to the alarm service provider. So in the end business and homeowners are still responsible. By increasing this fee, Laperriere is hoping people will pay more attention to their alarms.
