My old workplace had an alarm we would set at closing time when we left. I was a contact on the list of people to be called when it went off. It went off maybe 10 times while I was there, every time was a false alarm. Sometimes kids bouncing a ball against the window, sometimes strong winds, sometimes a poster falling off the wall...

A workplace, sure... but if a kid was bouncing a ball against my home's windows when I wasn't there, I'd sure want someone to come by and tell them to stop.

Is the police the right service for this?

Depends on your local PD. In my town I'd say yes but I understand that in other areas that would be a bad idea.
