(OP)
With respect to the requirements of MFPA 72, can anyone recall if the standard addresses the use of pass codes or passwords to cancel the response of fire services? It seems that as of recent, monitoring companies are calling the protected premises and asking for a pass code or pass word to verify if there is anything. Once the monitoring company receives the "proper password/passcode" they are then advising the fire dispatch that the FD can disregard.

We still send someone to verify and gather details and in the event the facility becomes a problematic one with cancelling alarm notifications, we have policies in place for delaying FD notifications in accordance with adopted fire code and ordinances.
