At the place I worked, they had the codes on how to shut off the alarms writen next to the alarms. You could also disable them with a switch. There is leg alarms for some of the residents, but it only works with the front door. If I was a resident there, I could slip out the door in some of the rooms, or go through the employee breakroom to get out. (And take one of the staff lunches with me).
