Alarm Ordinance
MADERA POLICE DEPARTMENT FALSE ALARM REDUCTION PROGRAM (559) 675-4274
In December 2003, the City Council passed an Ordinance dealing with reducing false alarms in our City. This Ordinance went into effect January 2004. False alarms increase year after year, wasting valuable police resources and diverting police from serious verified calls and crime prevention activities.
The Madera City Police Department takes responding to false alarm seriously and know you do as well. With a cooperative effort between the residents of Madera City, the Madera City Police Department and the alarm industry, false alarms can and will be reduced. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 559-675-4574.
