I'm finding it difficult to accept that police are the only demographic who are immune to alarm fatigue.

In fact, it would seem that not only are they immune to it, but respond paradoxically, in contrast to - well, everyone else, from college kids to IT staff to doctors to other public safety people.

This leads me to believe that The Real Problem are the people with guns who use them to shoot other people, not automatic alarms.
