maintenance, operation, or effectiveness of any security alarm system not then owned by Collier

17C
(b) Responsibility for False Alarms. Each owner of the secured premises is primarily
responsible under this Ordinance for false alarms at the secured premises. Owners may by lease
or other written agreement assign that primary responsibility to persons or entities that occupy
the secured premises, or to managers of the secured premises; however, failure of any such non-
owner to fully comply with any warning or citation under this Ordinance shall render the owner
responsible for such false alarms and the resulting penalties. Each responsible party is jointly
and severally responsible under this Ordinance for all false alarms at the respective secured
premises.
(c) Any Alarm Installation Company which installs or modifies a Security Alarm System as
specified herein shall provide written and oral instruction to the Owner in the proper use,
operation and maintenance of the Security Alarm System. Such instructions shall specifically
include all information necessary to turn the Security Alarm System on and off and how to avoid
False Alarms. Installer personnel shall complete an appropriate checklist at the conclusion of
instructions to Owner, and shall certify the same to the Sheriffs Office.
(d) Alarm installations shall not use automatic voice dialers that ring directly into law
enforcement offices, nor shall have any such connections to a telephone line of the Sheriff s
Office or associated department. Should an Alarm Installation Company discover such a
connection they are required to notify the Sheriffs Office of such within 24 hours.
(e) No Alarm Installation Company shall use the Sheriffs Office as the terminal point for
any Security Alarm System without the written permission of the Sheriffs Office.

Company shall inform the Sheriffs Office of such work, and if possible, shall take the Alarm

Monitoring Company sets off an alarm system while performing a test, installation or repair, the
