Comments: City re-writing ordinance - Puyallup has been an active member of the false alarm reduction effort. Chief Reader was the pubic safety liaison for the Washington program and the IACP/SACOP representative that helped initiate the entire "Model States" Project! Twenty-one alarm companies received false alarm reports on a monthly basis, and 92% responded with information as to action taken..
