Here's how simple the calculation is: The Police are notified to respond to
a burglar alarm going off at xyz residence. Police arrive, find no sign of a
break-in at the premise. This is logged as a "False Alarm". This information
is collected all Year long. At the end of the year, they compare the actual
calls for response, with ACTUAL crimes. Response vs. Crime.

100% Response
99% False Alarm
1% Valid Crime

If I'm wrong, show me a report from a responding authority having
jurisdiction that states otherwise. "SHOW ME"
