Town Council discusses future of alarm monitoring, false alarms

From the Paradise Valley Independent:

Expansion may be coming to the Town of Paradise Valley’s alarm monitoring service.

The Paradise Valley Town Council had this discussion and received an update on the false alarm ordinance at its Thursday, April 25 meeting at Town Hall, 6401 E. Lincoln Drive.

In regards to the alarm monitoring service, Police Chief Peter Wingert asked the council for direction on three topics: continuing the service, adding more subscribers and offering higher services.

In general, the majority of council expressed interest in expansion and requested more information on potential higher services. Mr. Wingert said he would gather more information regarding higher services and bring it back for a future study session item.

Mayor Jerry Bien-Willner, with the majority of council backing, told Mr. Wingert the council was interested in adding new subscribers.

“If someone comes in tomorrow and they say ‘I want to sign up,’ you’re getting direction from this council to give them the form, get it going,” Mr. Bien-Willner said.
