Yes, there is always a tension between the home/store owners and the police. The home/store owners typically want a loud alarm to warn the intruder, deter them from further action, and convince them to flee. The police want a silent alarm to give them time to get on the scene and apprehend the intruders and thieves so they can get an arrest and conviction. It is a bit of a Commons Problem that benefits the criminals, where it is in the individual's interest to use a loud alarm that will warn them in time to flee, but it is in the common interest to use a silent alarm to allow police to catch the criminals sooner. Clearly, these store owners are on the individual side of the fence.
