The Kenora Detachment of the OPP says it has to respond to between 700 and800 false alarms each year.
Inspector Dave Lucas says that's too much.
As a result, Lucas says he's developed a new protocol for dealing with false alarms.
Starting June 1st, Lucas says he will send out letters to building owners who have
frequent false alarms and if the problem persists officers could refuse to respond
to future alarms.
