Ordinance Change Mandates Court Appearance Only After Eighth False Burglar Alarm In One Year

June 26, 2018 Township Council

Township residents who have problems with their security systems sending out false burglar alarms will not have to report to court until the eighth instance in a given calendar year, thanks to an ordinance approved June 26 by the Township Council.

But once that threshold is reached, a court appearance is mandatory, and the property owner faces a fine of up to $2,000.
