AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING AND REGULATING ALARM SYSTEMS,
ISSUANCE OF PERMITS, AND PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR VIOLATION
THEREOF IN THE CITY OF SHOREWOOD
The City Council of the City of Shorewood ordains:
CHAPTER 501: ALARM SYSTEMS AND PERMITS
501.01. STATEMENT OF POLICY. The City of Shorewood deems it
necessary to provide for the regulations of alarm systems which
are designed to signal the presence of a hazard requiring urgent
attention to which public safety personnel are expected to
respond, in order to protect the public health, safety and
welfare.
The City Council finds that the regulation of alarms is
necessary in order to reduce the increasing frequency of false
alarms in the City. The great number of and increasing
frequency of these false alarms requires intensive,
time-consuming efforts by the Public Safety Department and
thereby distracts from and reduces the level of services
available to the rest of the community. This diminishes the
ability of the City to promote the general health, welfare and
safety of the community. In consideration for the necessity on
the part of the City to provide numerous public safety services
to all segments of the community, without an undue concentration
of public services in one area to work to the detriment of
members of the general public, it is hereby decided that the
alarm systems shall be regulated through the permit process
described below.
501.02. DEFINITIONS. As used herein, unless otherwise
indicated, the following terms are defined as follows:
Subd. a. "Alarm System" shall mean an assembly of
equipment and devices (or a single device such as a solid state
unit) arranged to signal the presence of a hazard. For the
purposes of this ordinance, the alarm, when triggered, must be
directly connected to a central monitoring agency which then
notifies the police and/or fire departments of an emergency to
which public safety personnel must respond, or may emit an
audible signal which will require urgent attention and to which
public safety personnel are expected to respond.
.
.
.
Subd. b. "Alarm User" shall mean the person, firm,
partnership, association, corporation, company or organization
of any kind on whose premises an alarm system is maintained.
"Alarm User" shall include persons occupying dwelling units for
residential purposes. "Alarm User" shall not include persons
maintaining alarm systems in automobiles.
Subd. c. "False Alarms" shall mean the activation of
an alarm system through mechanical failure, malfunction,
improper installation, or the negligence of the owner or lessee
of an alarm system or of his employees or agents. It does not
include activation of the alarm by utility company power outages
(except as set forth below) or by climatic conditions such as
tornadoes, lightning, earthquakes, other violent conditions of
nature, or any other conditions which are clearly beyond the
control of the alarm manufacturer, installer or owner.
Effective August I, 1987, false alarms resulting from power
outages shall be treated as other false alarms,~~)counted as
false alarms for permit purposes.
Subd. d. "Person" shall mean any individual,
partnership, corporation, association, cooperative or other
entity.
501.03. PERMITS AND EXEMPTIONS.
Subd. a. Permits. Every alarm user who, within a
twelve-month period, incurs more than two (2) false police
alarms, or more than one (1) false fire alarm shall be required
to obtain an alarm user permit.
Subd. b. Review of Permit. The Chief of Police shall
review the issuance of all alarm permits.
Subd. c. Process for Issuance of Permit. Upon receipt
and determination of the third false police alarm report, or the
second false fire alarm report at an address within a
twelve-month period, the Chief of Police, after review, shall
notify the City Clerk who shall then assess the alarm user for
an alarm user's permit. The assessment invoice shall be sent by
certified mail. The alarm user must submit the required permit
fee to the City Clerk within ten (10) working days after receipt
of the assessment invoice in order to continue to use his alarm
system. Any subsequent false police or fire alarms at that
-2-
.
address within a period of twelve months from the date of
issuance of the permit shall automatically revoke the permit,
the process must then be repeated and a new permit obtained;
except that after six months or more have elapsed since the
issuance of the permit, a single false police alarm shall not
revoke the permit.
Subd. d. Duration of Permit. All permits, unless
otherwise revoked, will expire twelve months from date of issue.
Subd. e. Exemptions. The provisions of this chapter
are not applicable to audible alarms affixed to automobiles.
501.04. REQUIREMENTS AND DUTIES.
Subd. a. False Alarm Reports. The Chief of Police may
at his discretion, require a false alarm report to be filed by
the alarm user with the Public Safety Department, within a time
period to be specified by the Chief of Police. If the Chief of
Police determines that a false alarm has occurred at an address,
the alarm user at that address may submit a written report to
the Chief of Police to explain the cause of the alarm
activation. If the Chief of Police determines that the alarm
was caused by conditions beyond the control of the alarm user,
the alarm will not be counted as a false alarm at that address.
. Subd. b. "False Alarms" will be excused if they are
the result of an effort or order to upgrade, install, test, or
maintain an alarm system and if the Public Safety Department is
given notice in advance of said upgrade, installation, test and
maintenance.
505.05. PROHIBITIONS.
Subd. a. Alarm Systems Utilizing Taping or Prerecorded
Messages. No person shall install, monitor, or use and possess
an operative alarm which utilizes taped or prerecorded messages

department.

Subd. a. The fee for alarm user's permits shall be:
Police - Fifty Dollars ($50.00); Fire - One hundred fifty
Dollars ($150.00).
-3-
.
.
.
.
Subd. b. After expiration of an alarm user's permit,
no subsequent permit shall be required until such time as the
alarm user incurs more than two (2) false police alarms, or more
than one (1) false fire alarm within a twelve-month period.
501.07. REVOCATION AND SUSPENSION OF PERMIT.
Subd. a. Basis for revocation or suspension. In
addition to the automatic revocation process described in
Section 3, the Public Safety Department may suspend or revoke
any alarm user permit issued pursuant to this ordinance if the

ordinance has been violated by an alarm user or his
agents;

number of false alarms;
3. That the alarm user has knowingly made false
statements in or regarding his application for an

remove, within a reasonable period, violations of
this ordinance after receipt of notice to do so;

user permit constitutes a substantial threat to the
public peace, health, safety or welfare.
All alleged violations defined above shall be
investigated by the Public Safety Department. The alarm user
shall be given notice of the proposed revocation or suspension
and be provided an opportunity to informally present evidence to
the Chief of Police prior to the final decision on revocation or
suspension. Anyone aggrieved by the decision of the Chief of
Police may appeal that decision to the City Council.

system after receiving notice of revocation or suspension by the
