None of the provisions of this chapter shall prevent the District
from providing special alarm monitoring services as may be required
because of medical reasons or communicative disorders.
No person owning, using, or possessing an alarm system or transmitting
information regarding an alarm system shall cause or permit the giving
of a false alarm, whether intentional, accidental, or otherwise. Any
signal, message or other communication transmitted by an alarm system,
person or other device which causes a District response and which
is determined by the District not to be of an existing emergency or
to be any other unlawful situation may result in the issuance of a
citation as determined by the Police or Fire Chief, which may include
restitution for the District.
The user of any private alarm system may be issued a citation as
determined by the Police or Fire Chief for any false alarm occurring
in a moving twelve-month period. There shall be no false alarm violation
charged during the thirty-day period immediately following the installation
of a new alarm system.
