City of Oakwood
Department of Public Safety
On October 5, 1981, Oakwood City Council adopted legislation regulating the installation and maintenance of all burglary, fire and medical alert systems. This legislation was passed as a means of correcting the tremendous number of false alarms responded to by police crews each year. The ordinance has been in effect since November 4, 1981.
We are enclosing a copy of the ordinance for your guidance. An alarm application is also being included. All subscribers must complete this form and return it by mail or in person to our Public Safety Department. Subscribers wishing to mail the form should forward it to the attention of the Oakwood Public Safety Department and those who wish to make personal delivery should submit the application to the dispatcher.
In addition to completing the enclosed application, all subscribers who have automatic dialing devices connecting their systems with the Public Safety Department must comply with Section 751.03(a) of this ordinance and pay an annual fee of thirteen dollars and twenty cents ($13.20). The fee should be submitted with the completed application form. There is no charge for systems that notify the alarm company first. The application, required fees, and other requirements impacting users must be completed and/or met within thirty (30) days of installation.
I would be happy to answer any questions you might have in regard to this legislation. Please feel free to call our department at (937) 298-2122.
