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.
