HIGHER FALSE-ALARM FINES ARE PROPOSED ; COUNCILMAN SAYS UNNECESSARY CALLS ARE WASTING TIME
2007
Overview
\"False alarms could be stopped,\" [Dion F. Guthrie] said. \"If you set one off, you pick up the phone and give them a code. Then they turn it off and stop the policeman from coming. But it's easier to say, `I'll tell them when they get here.' That's not what we want.\" \"Whenever deputies respond to an alarm, no matter how many times they've been there, they have to walk around the perimeter,\" said Sgt. Christina Presberry, spokeswoman for the county sheriff's office. \"When we get these false alarms, it does take the deputy a while to clear that call. That's the big point: It's time- consuming.\" \"It takes about 20 minutes at the larger schools,\" said Sgt. Douglas Keithley of the county sheriff's office, who often responds to false-alarm calls. \"You have to walk around the schools. There's nothing you can do in five minutes. You walk around, look at the windows, check the doors and look into the classroom.\"
