Model Ordinance Information
Over the past several years the alarm industry has worked closely with agencies such the IACP - International Association of Chiefs of Police, NSA - National Sheriffs Association and FARA - False Alarm Reduction Association to develop and refine successful elements for a solid alarm ordinance that will reduce false dispatches and many cases allow for cost recovery. These "best practices"
and all recommendations from the MODEL STATES REPORT have been incorporated into the NBFAA-FARA MODEL ORDINANCE. We estimate that over a thousand law enforcement agencies have used part or all of this model.
This updated version includes provisons for MULTIPLE-CALL VERIFICATION and SIA CP-01 EQUIPMENT
STANDARDS.
