A quick google search suggests that alarms that end up with police response are
between 90 and 99% false alarms. Several major police departments have policies
to ignor all but special classes of alarm calls. Researching the policies of
your police department would be useful in determining if alarm monitoring has
any usefulness.

The central station calls the house to find out the problem. They do
the vetting. If no one is home then they call the cops directly. In
that situation I'm sure you're numbers are not far off.
