Dunwoody residents who call in numerous false alarms to the police department could face a fine up to $500.
The city of Dunwoody is one of three north metro cities that are adopting ordinances that assess fines for false alarms.
There is no fine for the first two false alarms, but a fine of $50 begins with the third false alarm. The fee continues to escalate after the third false alarm.
Violators will have to pay a $500 fee after the 10th false alarm. Each one after that is $500.
The Dunwoody City Council has the proposed ordinance on the agenda for discussion at its Jan. 14 meeting.
