§ 4-32. Termination of permit.

(a)

The director may revoke an alarm system permit or refuse to renew an alarm system permit for any violation of this chapter.

(b)

The director may revoke a permit for failure to pay a service charge fee as required by section 4-62.

(c)

The director may revoke a permit or refuse to renew an alarm system permit at an alarm site if an alarm system generates an excessive number of false alarm notifications in a twelve-month period; but revocation or nonrenewal may only occur in the event the permit holder has failed to pay any service charge fee as required by section 4-62. In each respective category, and excessive number shall be as follows:

(1)

Five (5) false burglar alarms;

(2)

Five (5) false robbery alarms;

(3)

Five (5) false emergency medical assistance alarms; and

(4)

Five (5) false fire alarms.

(d)

Emergency service response shall continue to any alarm notification unless the alarm system permit is revoked as provided herein. No alarm system permit shall be terminated without providing the permit holder with thirty (30) days' written notice of revocation.

(e)

A revocation may be withdrawn and a permit reinstated or a permit may be renewed upon a sufficient showing that the conditions which caused the action have been corrected and if the director determines that the alarm system is likely to be maintained and operated in a responsible manner and in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
