There is a stay at home order, but the Lakewood police still had to break up three gatherings.

I strongly disagree with the police state attitude of the “greater good” attitude.

SimpliSafe does need wifi to operate but it connects to local police departments and will dispatch them in the event of a break-in.

Also - unless you are in a tourist destination that deals with STRs as a matter of routine, good luck getting a local police officer or sheriff to force your guest to leave regardless of how long their reservation is for.

Myself or my partner was going to the Police station next week to file a report since they are temporarily not sending out Police unless a violent crime against a person happened.

I could get something installed myself, but that wouldn’t be connected to the local police, so I do t think that’s the way to go.

Landlords are in a position of power (we make the rules, choose tenants and can evict) and are in the same category as a boss or a police officer who can pull someone over and give a ticket. 

When a tenant gets violent/threatening, call the police. 

they should call the police. 

BUT, there are exigent circumstances like plumbing leaks, fire, or police emergency.As for civil penalty, I have never heard of the police charging the property tax paying landlord a fine for such a violation.
