The Village of Plandome passed a local law to fine residents for ‘false alarms’ and hosted a police-led seminar on crime prevention at a meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10. 

The new law means that residents whose false smoke alarms require fire department responses three times within a one-year period will face a fine of $100, the board said.
