F. Immediately following an alarm activation, where the alarm system permittee or his designated representative(s) fails to respond within one (1) hour to a request for access to the protected premises, upon request to do so by a City police officer or public safety dispatcher who deems a response necessary to insure the security of the premises or persons where the system is installed.
