If the alarm is going off it could be time to change the batteries. Dust can also cause them to chirp. Change the batteries then blow the detector or vacuum it. If the alarm still sounds, you will need to contact an electrician.
Alarms should be checked every month to make sure they are working. Once a year plan to change the batteries and dust the detectors.

Police Department Neighborhood Watch FAQ
|
|
Maybe. The fact that many neighborhoods are virtually crime-free does not make them immune. Criminal activity knows no geographical boundary, and provided that enough initial interest can be generated, the fact that your neighborhood is crime-free may be the best reason to establish a Neighborhood Watch now. It should be stressed that every successful Neighborhood Watch, regardless of the crime rate, requires involved, interested, and committed participants.
|
|
|
Yes. Most new Neighborhood Watches require only two or three weekly or biweekly meetings to get started. After that period, an occasional maintenance meeting is recommended to keep Neighborhood Watch participants active and interested.
|
|
|
The initial Neighborhood Watch meetings are conducted by community liaison officers and community trainers who are well-trained in crime prevention techniques, organizational skills and community leadership. Depending upon the size of the Neighborhood Watch, a few volunteers are needed in getting the program started, and moving in the right direction.
|
|
|
No. Remember that you are the best one to judge whether something is normal or not normal in your neighborhood. Even if your call turns out to be a false alarm, it is better to let trained police officers make that determination. Of course, as a Neighborhood Watch participant, you will receive instruction on what constitutes a true emergency as opposed to something which simply needs routine police attention. Neighborhood Watch participants receive information on the proper use of the 911 system for real emergency situations.
|
|
|
As a general rule, a minimum 50% level of participation, by number of households in a Neighborhood Watch area, is necessary for obtaining signs. However, the crime prevention officer may recommend signs for neighborhoods which demonstrate a strong commitment to the program but fall short of the 50% participation level. Of course, any Neighborhood Watch which becomes inactive is subject to having the signs removed.
