False Alarm Reduction System

False Alarms waste taxpayer dollars and law enforcement time. False alarms incidents create distractions from the core public safety mission of law enforcement by diverting first responder personnel from real emergencies.

With a steady increase of commercial and residential alarm systems, the number of false alarms will continue to grow;

“The vast majority of alarm calls—between 94 and 98 percent (higher in some jurisdictions)—are false… in 2002 police responded to approximately 36 million alarm activations, at an estimated annual cost of $1.8 billion” (U.S. Dept. of Justice).

Our False Alarm Reduction System (FARS) is a complete, proven solution which generates significant revenue for your jurisdiction by efficiently managing the entire billing, tracking and collecting functions associated with an effective alarm ordinance.

Purvis Gray understands the increasing scrutiny imposed on cities, counties, and metropolitan jurisdictions regarding funding, auditing, and general accounting practices.

Other false alarm software packages are not built upon these strong accounting principles, and therefore lack critical features such as audit trails and transactional billing.
