Athens City Code

The ordinance from which this chapter is derived is enacted to provide minimum standards and regulations applicable to private fire and security alarm users and businesses. Both society in general and public safety in particular will be aided by providing a useful and usable system of private security which properly balances quick response by police with minimization of police time spent on alarms which are false or otherwise not the intended function of private security systems.
