A. All applications for a license shall be made in writing and filed with the City Clerk. The application shall contain the full name, age and address of the applicant, and such other information as shall be deemed necessary to conduct an adequate background investigation.
B. In order to determine suitability of prospective applicants for licensing, the City Clerk shall require each specified applicant to provide information and fingerprints necessary to obtain criminal history information from the Idaho state police and the federal bureau of investigation. Pursuant to Idaho Code § 67-3008, and congressional enactment public law 92-544, the City shall submit a set of fingerprints obtained from the applicant and the required fees to the Idaho State Police, Bureau of Criminal Identification, for a criminal records check of state and national databases. The submission of fingerprints and information required by this section shall be on forms prescribed by the Idaho State Police. The City is authorized to receive criminal history information from the Idaho State Police and from the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the purpose of evaluating the fitness of applicants for licensing. As required by state and federal law, further dissemination or other use of the criminal history information is prohibited. As required by section 5.60.020, “License; Fee; Application,” of this Title, all fees required for the criminal history check shall be tendered at such time as the application is made. After such investigation, the City Clerk or designee, after consultation with the Chief of Police or designee, shall approve or reject the application. Should an application be approved, the City Clerk shall issue the license to the applicant upon payment of the license fee in an amount set by resolution of the City Council as set forth in section 5.60.020 of this Title. Should an application be rejected, the basis for the rejection may be appealed to the City Council pursuant to section 5.32.100 of this Title.
C. No license under this Chapter shall be granted to any person who, within ten (10) years prior to the date of application for a license, has been convicted of a crime involving violence or threat of violence, or crime of moral turpitude, or if the applicant is not a citizen of the United States of good moral character.
D. Upon receipt of an application for security agent, the city clerk may issue a provisional license to an applicant if the city clerk determines that such person is in substantial compliance with the provisions of this chapter. A provisional license shall expire one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of issuance or at such earlier time as the city clerk may designate. A security agent with a provisional license must be under the supervision of a licensed security agency owner or a licensed supervisor until completion of all criminal history checks and issuance of a license which is not provisional.
