Security Tip — False Alarms
If you conduct alarm testing in your office building or apartment, call the fire and police departments to let them know. They suspend responding to an alarm for a set time. This allows you to test without worrying about being charged for a false call. Your security service provider may offer this service. If so, keep a record and associated receipts of all the work they do. This way, if there's a false alarm, you have proof that you took steps to prevent them.
