Due to a spike in the number of false alarm reports in the city, Hollister’s code enforcement division and police department are reminding residents to register their alarms to eliminate false reports.
According to a Hollister police statement:
The City of Hollister Code Enforcement Division in cooperation with the Hollister Police Department is encouraging residents to register their alarms and work to eliminate false reports. Due to an increased number of false alarm reports, 628 since the beginning of the year (93% of all alarm reports dispatched), the City of Hollister will be issuing Administrative Citations for unregistered and false alarms. Under the current City of Hollister Municipal Code, alarm owners are responsible for registering their alarms with the Hollister Police Department. The alarm application can also be found here: http://www.hollister.ca.gov/Site/html/gov/office/police/pdforms.asp .
Under the current provisions of the code, owners are permitted one false alarm in a three month period. After three false alarms the city can order the alarm removed. Please help the Police Department keep our neighborhoods safe by registering your alarm and working to eliminate time consuming false alarms.
