Does anyone know of a Police Department (City, County or State),
that has it's own monitoring station and charges for monitoring alarm
accounts.
If you know of any, let me know.
(A small 6000 city Police Department in Florida has an agenda to open
a UL monitoring station, with the approval of the City Council).
Any help would be appreciated.

I know that Newport Beach, CA has long had a monitoring station, they freely
admit that their service is very limited to the number of zones they can
monitor and they don't aggressively market their service, nor do they claim
that they will respond quicker to a "in-house" signal than to a private
monitoring service. I should note that its been several years since I have
had any contact with the NBPD so their policies and equipment capabilities
may have changed.

I believe that several other cities in Southern California used to or still
monitor alarms directly, there are probably numerous PD's in the US that
monitor alarms. The central station associations will probably be able to
provide a list.
A quick google found the three listed below in California
Millbrae, CA

Hillsborough,CA

Atherton, CA. This one is interesting.

The City of Livermore, CA at one time introduced an ordinance that required
fire alarms within the City to be monitored by a UL listed central station
within the City limits, unfortunately the only such facility was the city
owned Livermore Communications Center. This was resolved after three Alarm
Associations took action.

As you probably know, it used to be common practice to local dispatch
centers to monitor alarms via direct connect lines. As these lines
became expensive and obsolete, most of them stopped. We used to
maintain an old Keltron receiver in one city and they dropped it
because of liability concerns. It suprises me that a city would want
to be in the alarm monitoring business. Maybe they ought to research
the insurance and legal ramifications a little more.

There is a program called DAM (Direct Alarm Monitoring) in a place called
University Park, Texas (
http://www.citytowninfo.com/places/texas/university-park a suburb in the
Dallas, Texas area) that has its own central station. It uses Bosch
(Radionics at the time it started) receivers. You can see from the
demographic that this is a wealthy upper middle class neighborhood. It is
heavy duty Republican so Bass would be in abject misery if he lived anywhere
near the place. At least he would be happy that alarm companies aren't
charging 'excessive' fees for monitoring. I bet that with the tax base
burden there it means that the monitoring is probably costing the home
owners far more than if they paid their own monitoring bills and lived
elsewhere.
