Pines False Alarm Ordinance

Sunset Pointe Residents,
 
The information below was sent to me by the president of Emerald Springs.
 
On July 15, 2010, the Pembroke Pines Police Department will be enforcing its false alarm ordinance.  This will require homeowners with monitored alarm service to register their home alarms with the Pembroke Pines Police Department and renew their registration annually.  There is no cost for registration/renewing.  Homeowners who register will receive two (2) free false alarms within a 12 month period.  There after the cost will be $ 50.00 for each false alarm.  Homeowners that NO NOT REGISTER their monitored service will be charged $ 100.00 for each and every FALSE ALARM.
 
The Pembroke Pines Police respond to over 13, 000 false alarms per year- wasting tax payer dollars, diverting police officers from real emergencies and delaying response time for more critical calls.
 
You can register your monitored home alarm system on line at www.crywolf.us/pembrokepines or register by phone by calling the Pines PD customer service number 1-877-263-6026 Monday through Friday,
9 AM to 8 PM.  You will receive a permit number when registered.
 
In comparison, the City of Ft. Lauderdale charges $ 50.00 for registration and fines from $ 50 to $ 400 for false alarms.  Hollywood, charges $ 25 for registration and $ 50 to $ 200 for false alarms.
