The realities of today’s economy continue to force local governments to do more with less, often prompting deep cuts in police and public safety budgets. Having fewer resources magnifies the pressure police departments face to increase efficiencies and reduce the number of unproductive Calls For Service (CFS).
Alarm calls usually are the leading dispatch call for police services and it is no secret that most alarm calls are false alarms. Year after year, jurisdictions that use the security industry’s model alarm management ordinance and best practices are seeing significant reductions in alarm dispatches, while generating much needed revenue.
