(A) The Animal Control Licensing Inspector is authorized by the City Council, pursuant to Cal. Penal Code §§ 832, 836.5 and 19d and subject to the provisions thereof, to arrest a person without warrant whenever the Animal Control Licensing Inspector has reasonable cause to believe that the person to be arrested has either violated a mandatory provision of Chapter 6.12 of this code in the presence of the Animal Control License Inspector or fails to correct a violation of the mandatory provisions of Chapter 6.12 of this code and therefore has committed an infraction which the Animal Control License Inspector has the discretionary duty to enforce.
(B) The Animal Control License Inspector is further authorized by the City Council to issue a Notice to Appear and to release such person on his or her written promise to appear in court, pursuant to Cal. Penal Code §§ 853.5 and 853.6. Under no circumstances may the Animal Control License Inspector take the person to be arrested into custody. In the event that the person to be arrested demands to be taken before the Magistrate or refuses to provide his or her written promise to appear in court, the Animal Control License Inspector shall either summon a Corona police officer, explain the situation and request that the Corona police officer arrest the person and take the person into custody or seek assistance of the City Attorney and request that an infraction complaint be prepared and filed against that person.
(C) The Chief of Corona Police Department shall establish and cause to be administered a special enforcement training program in compliance with Cal. Penal Code § 832 and shall further instruct the Animal Control License Inspector regarding provisions of Title 6 to be enforced, the evidentiary prerequisites to proper prosecution for violations thereof, the appropriate procedures for making arrests or otherwise prudently exercising such arrest and citation authority and limitations attendant thereto. The Animal Control Licensing Inspector shall be appropriately instructed to file executed citations within the Police Department and such citations shall be filed with the Magistrate pursuant to § 1.08.070 of this code.
