(a) Upon receipt of an application for a license and payment of the required fee, the Chief of Police shall investigate the applicant and issue or deny the license or issue a temporary license within 15 business days. If the applicant is licensed by another government agency for the purposes of alarm monitoring and that government agency conducted a criminal background check of the applicant, the Chief may accept the results of that background check without further investigation. If a temporary license is issued, the Chief shall make a final decision to issue or deny the license within 60 days of the filing of the application. The license shall be issued if the application is satisfactorily completed, no owner, manager, partner, director or officer of the business has ever been convicted of a felony or had a misdemeanor conviction within the last 10 years involving theft or destruction of property, the business has adequate insurance, and the Chief finds the applicant’s character and reputation are satisfactory to handle the responsibilities of the license. The Chief may deny the license for false statements on the application.

(b) Upon issuance, the license shall be displayed and available for inspection on the business premises of the licensee. Alarm installers shall carry their license with them while servicing or installing alarm systems.

(c) No license issued hereunder shall be transferable and any such licenses shall be issued for a period of 12 months from date of application. Renewal of such license shall be accomplished in the same manner as issuance of the initial license. (Ord. 18181 § 7, 3-2-04. Code 1995 § 30-455.)
