NOW AT 5:30 THE NEWPORT
NEWS POLICE CHIEF IS
TRYING TO REDUCE THE
NUMBER
OF FALSE HOME AND
BUSINESS SECURITY ALARMS
HIS OFFICERS RESPOND TO.
HE'S PROPOSING A CHANGE
IN THE CITY LAW - TO
ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS TO
PREVENT
UNNECESSARY CALLS FOR
SERVICE.
10 ON YOUR SIDE'S ERIN
KELLY EXPLAINS THE
SOLUTION POLICE CAME UP
WITH.
RIGHT NOW THERE'S A $50
PENALTY FOR EACH FALSE
ALARM AFTER 3 IN A 90 DAY
PERIOD.
THE CHIEF'S PLAN WOULD
ALLOW 2 FREE FALSE ALARMS
IN A YEAR.
THEN THE FINES WOULD GO
UP TO $100, $250, EVEN
$500 -- DEPENDING ON HOW
MANY TIMES IT
HAPPENS.
NATS ALARM SYSTEM THEY
ARE THE EYES ON YOUR
HOUSE OR YOUR BUSINESS TO
KEEP TROUBLE AWAY ---
BUT IN NEWPORT NEWS --
C0021 - CHIEF RICHARD
MYERS - NEWPORT NEWS
POLICE DEPARTMENT 2306
IT'S NOT INCONSISTENT
WITH WHAT EVERY POLICE
DEPARTMENT AROUND THE
COUNTRY IS DEALING WITH
2311
CHIEF RICHARD MYERS WANTS
TO CHANGE THE CITY
ORDINANCE TO INCLUDE A
REGISTRATION SYSTEM WITH
A
ONE-TIME $25 FEE FOR
USERS, SO THAT OFFICERS
KNOW WHICH HOMES AND
BUSINESSES HAVE ALARMS
AND WHO TO CONTACT WHEN
THEY GO OFF. HE SAYS
EACH ALARM CALL REQUIRES
TWO OFFICERS AND
TAKES AN AVERAGE OF 20
MINUTES. AND -- IN BOTH
2015 AND 2016, THERE WERE
MORE
THAN 9000 ALARM
DISPATCHES AND 85%
PERCENT OF THEM WERE
FALSE ALARMS.
JESSICA SEELEY KNOWS THE
PROBLEM WELL. SHE'S CEO
OF KING ALARM COMPANY OF
FORGETTING TO DISARM
THEIR SYSTEM BEFORE THEY
WALK IN THE HOUSE 911 NEW
USERS THAT HAVE NEVER HAD
A SECURITY SYSTEM BEFORE.

C0021 - CHIEF RICHARD
MYERS - NEWPORT NEWS
PERCENT OF OUR FALSE
ALARMS OR
C0021 - CHIEF RICHARD
MYERS - NEWPORT NEWS
PERCENT OF OUR FALSE
ALARMS OR
MORE, THAT'LL BE THE
EQUIVALENT OF GETTING TWO
ADDITIONAL OFFICERS 2748
ON THE FORCE,
WITHOUT HIRING ANYBODY
ADDITIONALLY. THAT'S HOW
MANY MAN HOURS ARE
CONSUMED 2755
THE CHIEF IS ALSO CALLING
FOR A $10 FEE TO RENEW
EACH YEAR, AND AN ALARM
USER
AWARENESS CLASS. ERIN
