The purpose of this chapter is to reduce or eliminate the incidence of false alarms. False alarms constitute a hazard to law enforcement officers and the general public. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office receives and responds to approximately one thousand two hundred (1,200) false alarms each year, many at the same location. This high incidence of false alarms results in substantial costs incurred to the County of Humboldt and the ability of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office to respond to valid alarms and other emergencies is reduced.
