Media Release – Reminder to be Bear Wise

False Alarms:
If your security alarm generates more than four false alarms within a twelve month period, you will be charged $500 for each alarm thereafter.

If your dwelling or business in the township has an alarm system, please ensure your alarm company always has up-to-date keyholder and property information.  Your system will work better, and policing costs will be reduced if you maintain your contact information.

Neighbourhood Watch:
Neighbourhood Watch informs residents of incidents occurring in their neighbourhoods.  The majority of incidents are released through media outlets, but minor incidents not normally released to the media are included in these reports as well.

Only occurrences pertaining to Neighbourhood Watch, such as break and enters, property damage, thefts and suspicious persons/vehicles are posted in these updates. No domestic reports as well as names, exact addresses or licence plates will be reported.
