§ 5.52.040. Private watchman permit—Application, issuance, and revocation.

It is unlawful for any person to act as a private watchman, or for any person to employ another as a private watchman, unless such person holds an unrevoked private watchman's permit issued by the Chief of Police, as provided in this chapter. The application for a private watchman's permit shall be made in the manner and form provided in Section 5.52.050, and shall be signed by the person to whom the permit is to be issued. Such application shall be endorsed thereon with the written approval thereof of the employer of the applicant, with the employer's request that such permit be granted. The permit, if granted, shall state the name of the employer of such private watchman and the address where such private watchman's services are to be rendered. The permit may be revoked in the manner and for any of the reasons provided in Section 5.52.070, and shall be automatically revoked upon the termination of the employment of the holder thereof with the employer whose name is set forth in such permit.
