Generally. The provisions of this article shall not apply to proprietary alarm systems, alarm systems mandated by the Denver Building or Fire Code, alarm systems used by federal, state or local governmental agencies or authorities or alarm systems located in public, elementary or secondary schools. Federal, state or local governmental agencies, public schools, and other public entities defined in C.R.S. Sec. 24-10-103(5) using alarm systems may obtain a permit, but shall not be required to do so.

(b)

Exception. If there is reason to believe that any alarm system is not being used or maintained in a manner that ensures proper operation and suppresses false alarms, the police department, excise and licenses, fire department, or the building department may require a conference with an alarm permit holder and the individual or association responsible for maintenance of the alarm system to review the circumstances of each false alarm.
