Purpose.

It is the purpose of this chapter to protect and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the Town of Webster by reducing the number of avoidable alarms to emergency agencies. Avoidable alarms contribute to ineffective utilization of public safety, manpower and equipment. In addition, avoidable alarms require emergency responses, which may contribute to a high accident rate and delay responses to genuine emergencies. This chapter seeks to ensure that police will be available for dispatch for actual emergencies and to alleviate the nuisance of audible alarms in the Town.
