Keyholder/Contact Information
   When there is an after-hours emergency at your business
such as a fire, break-in, or vandalism, it is important that
Emergency Communications knows who to contact.  Emergency
Communications maintains after-hours information about
businesses in Sumner County so contact can be made with the
business owner or keyholder.
   To ensure your information is up to date, download the form
below and fax it to Watch Supervisor Marcie Bristor at 620 326
3860.  Information should be updated whenever there is a
change in ownership, proprietorship, or keyholder.
Alarms
   Some burglary alarms function by automatically dialing 9-1-1
and playing a pre-recorded message that the alarm has
activated.
   During thunderstorms, wind storms, or power surges, these
alarms can malfunction and repeatedly dial 9-1-1 until it they are
reset.  These repeated activations tie up 9-1-1 lines  preventing
others with emergencies from calling, and takes valuable
dispatcher time in answering these calls.
   For this reason, Sumner County does not allow automatic
dialing alarms that directly call 9-1-1.  Businesses should
contact private alarm companies for information about how they
can arm their business.
