Immediately upon the verification of an employee’s statement, the holder of the license certificate issued pursuant to this chapter by whom such person has been or is to be employed shall cause two sets of fingerprints of the two hands of such person to be recorded in such manner as the chief of police may by rule prescribe. The holder of the license certificate shall immediately stamp in indelible ink the employee’s statement and each set of fingerprints with the name, year and license certificate number of such holder and a number which number shall be determined by the number of such statements furnished to such holder and shall be in numerical sequence.
The holder of a license certificate shall affix one set of such fingerprints to the employee’s statement in such manner that the prints can be examined without disclosing the contents of the employee’s statement, and shall retain such statement and prints so long as he shall be licensed under this chapter by the city. The holder of a license certificate shall file the other set of fingerprints with the chief of police within 24 hours of such employment. Within five days after the filing of such fingerprints the chief of police shall cause such fingerprints to be compared with fingerprints filed with the identification bureau of the city and if any record of such prints are found he shall notify the holder of such license certificate. The chief of police may also from time to time cause such fingerprints to be checked with the state department of public safety or other official fingerprint files within or without this state, and if he finds such person has been convicted of a felony or other offense he shall immediately notify the holder of such license certificate. The chief of police or his authorized representative shall at all times be given access to and may from time to time examine the fingerprints retained by the holder of the license certificate provided in this article. No holder of a certificate shall file with the police department the fingerprints of a person other than the person so employed. (Ord. 4039)
