False Alarm In Pine Bluff

Updated: January 7, 2009
Pine Bluff police will begin enforcing a new
city ordinance that penalizes property owners for false alarm
calls.
The city council approved the ordinance September Second. It
requires property owners or lease holders to have a permit for the
installation of any alarm on their property and levies fines for
false alarm calls. A violation of the ordinance is a misdemeanor.
The department says officers will begin enforcing the ordinance
December First.
The new rule allows for these fines:
--25 dollars per false alarm call after the fourth false alarm
within a month.
--25 dollars per false alarm on the seventh through the 15th
false alarm within the year.
--50 dollars per false alarm for the 16th through the 30th false
alarm within the year.
--100 dollars per false alarm for the 31st or greater false alarm
within the year.
