The City of Albuquerque Alarm Ordinance is a comprehensive set of regulations and procedures aimed at addressing the increasing use of private emergency alarm systems in the city. The ordinance requires permitting, establishes fees, provides enforcement procedures, and establishes criminal penalties for false alarms. It aims to reduce the number of false alarms, which divert public safety officers from other critical duties and constitute a nuisance. The ordinance also recognizes the value of fire and medical alarms and ensures that fire personnel can effectively respond to actual emergencies.
The City of Albuquerque Finance Administrative Services oversees the implementation and enforcement of the Alarm Ordinance. The department is responsible for collecting alarm fees, maintaining records, and coordinating with the Albuquerque Police Department and Fire Department. By enforcing the ordinance, the department aims to ensure the efficient use of public safety resources and protect the interests of both alarm users and the general public.
