We have 5 distributed throughout our neighborhood. They are located outside on posts with lock boxes. Responders have keys to the locks. Our initial payment was $150, with an estimate of another $30 every 3-5 years for battery replacement. The decision to do this was made with the input of our entire neighborhood. The Public Safety department recommended locations for the units and provided instruction to volunteer responders.

By the way, I'm not sure there would be a way to eliminate those who don't pay (to be differentiated from those who don't want treatment) because the decision to send responders is made by 911.
