The surety bond or insurance policy required by Section 38-12 shall be in the sum of $10,000 and shall be conditioned that the obligor therein will pay to the extent of the face amount of such surety bond or insurance policy all judgments which may be recovered against such detective or detective agency by reason of the wrongful or illegal acts of its servants, officers, agents or employees committed by them in the course of their employment. Such surety bond or insurance policy shall further be conditioned that such person so injured shall have the right to sue directly upon the surety bond or insurance policy in his own name, and the same shall be subject to successive suits for recovery until a complete exhaustion of the face amount thereof. (Ord. Nos. 4039; 4311)
The surety bond or insurance policy required by Section 38-12 shall be in effect for the period of time covered by the license for which such bond or policy is given and shall expire at the expiration of the license for which such bond or policy was given. Each such detective or detective agency shall, on or before the date of the expiration of the terms of any surety bond or insurance policy so filed by such agency, file a renewal thereof or a new surety bond or insurance policy containing the same terms or obligations of the preceding surety bond or policy and shall each year thereafter or before the expiration date of the existing surety bond or insurance policy file such renewal surety bond or insurance policy so as to provide continuous security to persons so injured. In the event any such detective or detective agency fails to execute any surety bond or insurance policy in the first instance or to execute any renewal surety bond or insurance policy or to file the same with the city manager as provided in this article, it shall constitute grounds for revoking the license issued under the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. Nos. 4039; 4311)
Immediately upon the receipt of the license certificate issued by the city, the licensee named therein shall cause such license certificate to be posted up and at all times displayed in a conspicuous place in the bureau, agency, subagency, office or branch office for which it is issued so that all persons visiting such place may readily see the same. Such license certificate shall at all reasonable times be subject to inspection by the chief of police or an authorized representative of the police department. No person holding such license certificate shall post such certificate or permit such certificate to be posted upon premises other than those described therein or to which it has been transferred pursuant to the provisions of this article or knowingly alter, deface or destroy any such license certificate. Every license certificate shall be surrendered to the chief of police within 72 hours after its terms shall have expired or after notice in writing to the holder that such license has been revoked. Failure to comply with any provisions of this section is a misdemeanor and sufficient cause for the revocation of a license. (Ord. 4039)
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to authorize the agents, servants, officers or employees of licensee to have the power of peace officers in this city unless such power be conferred thereon under the provisions of the laws of this state, this code or other ordinances of this city. (Ord. Nos. 4039; 4311)
If the holder of an unexpired license certificate issued pursuant to this chapter shall remove the bureau, agency, subagency, office or branch office to a place other than that described in the license certificate, he shall within the 24 hours immediately following such removal give written notice of such removal to the chief of police, which notice shall describe the premises to which such removal is made and the date on which it was made, and send such license certificate to the chief of police, who shall cause to be written or stamped across the face of such certificate a statement signed by the city manager to the effect that the holder of such license has, on the date stated in such written notice, removed such bureau, agency, subagency, office or branch office from the place originally described in such written notice. Such license certificate with the endorsement thereon shall then be returned to the licensee named therein. (Ord. 4039)
The holder of any license certificate issued pursuant to this chapter may employ to assist him in his work as a private detective and in the conduct of such business as many persons as he may deem necessary. The licensee shall at all times during such employment be legally responsible for the good conduct in the business of each and every person so employed. (Ord. 4039)
