Required Cities with Police Dispatch-

Police Verification

These are the cities that require verified response before police can be dispatched. This means that a third party security guard company will be dispatched to check the premises and then they will dispatch police if they can confirm there has been a break in. Police will not dispatch on burglar alarms in these cities.

Why do these cities require verified response?

Because someone in their police departments thought it was a good idea, even though it is not. They foolishly think that it will save money but it actually does not since statistics have shown that more break ins occur with this policy in place which results in more expense and work than going to another false alarm. Some look at false alarms as a bad thing, but in actuality they are good. Would you rather it was real and a crime was being committed? Alarm systems are made to reduce crime and prevent crime not to catch bad guys. The Security Industry Alarm Coalition has an article about Verified Response here. Dallas and Los Angeles considered adopting this policy as well as other cities but after looking at the facts they decided against it.
