North
Bay Bylaw
The false alarm bylaw in North Bay became effective June 1. It runs on a fixed 365 day period ending May 31 of each year. Your first false alarm in any given year has no consequences. Your second false alarm in the said year will result in a suspension of police response for the remainder of the fixed year. If this happens, you have one of two choices. You can pay the police a fee of $60.00 to have your last false alarm removed from your records, thereby reinstating police response. If this is not acceptable to you, we can arrange for a private response firm to take care of you until the year ends and you are reinstated by the police again. This bylaw should not affect the vast majority of our clients, as they do not have two false alarms in any given year. For those who have excessive false alarms, let’s get working together quickly so we can straighten out the causes. If you have any questions regarding this bylaw or procedures of it, please don’t hesitate to contact Rick Delorme in our North Bay office, or John Whitehead in our Sudbury office. Sudbury and Timmins Police Departments are both working hard towards the drafting of false alarm bylaws for their cities also. We will keep you informed.
Summer Time Means Camp and Vacation Time It Also Is If you head off to cottage every weekend, then make certain you do not forget to arm your system. Burglars are often close to home. They see your patterns and quickly realize you are gone every weekend. Make certain your yard sign and window decals are prominently posted so as to deter any unwanted visitors. If your keyholders are gone for most of the summer, make certain you contact us with new or alternate ones. If you have friends or relatives who are also gone much of the summer, don’t forget to share with them the peace of mind your system gives you. If they take your advice, everyone wins! They get the protection and peace of mind you now enjoy. We get a new client. You receive 3 months of free monitoring for your kind referral.
72%
Of Fire Victims The State Fire Marshall of Massachusetts stated that he felt 72% of fire victims could have been saved if there were working smoke detectors in their homes. The problem, it seems, is twofold. The main problem is dead batteries in smoke detectors. The second problem is detectors having been made inoperable on purpose after having gone off too many times for reasons other than a real fire. If you are guilty of either one of these reasons, then take action to correct it now Put in hardwire smoke sensors. Make certain they are installed in the proper locations as to minimize false alarms. Go one step further and put in a monitored smoke detector. The preventative cure is so much less expensive and painful than the alternative! Numbers to Know Monitoring Station Tom Bennett
