Many people don't realize that false home security alarms can raise their tax bills. These false alarms are more common then you think, with estimates by police that up to 97% of burglary alarm calls turn out to be false alarms. The fact that police have to respond to all these false alarms poses a very high cost to local governments.

For example, the police department in Seattle estimates that it wastes over $1 million each year responding to these false alarms. It's not surprising, then, that cities around the country have been cracking down on the problem with new programs to educate their citizens. Some have even imposed fines on repeat offenders of up to $500. Improper installation is one of the causes of false alarms, but in most cases false alarms are caused by human error and careless operation.

Four surveillance cameras were donated to The Aberdeen Township Council at their regular action meeting recently. The surveillance cameras were donated through Garden State Fire and Security Alarm Company by the company's president, Michael Ash.
Township Manager Holly Reycraft said "Two surveillance cameras are already installed, out of which one was purchased by the recreation commission and the other was purchased with a grant."
There were some graffiti and cleanliness issues along the seawall. The township now hopes that the additional surveillance cameras will reduce sabotage and littering from the place.
"Between the expertise of police department and Mr. Ash We are sure that the surveillance cameras will do the job and we hope they will act as a deterrent," Aberdeen Mayor Fred Tagliarini said.
