The director and any person or agency designated by the director may enforce and administer this article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any authorized police officer has the authority to enforce § 13-11.11(b)(6) as follows:
(1) Powers of arrest or citation. Police officers and any other officer so authorized shall issue a citation for any violation of this article or of any rule adopted by the director to administer, implement, or enforce this article, except they may arrest for instances when:
(A) The alleged violator refuses to provide the officer with such person’s name and address and any proof thereof as may be reasonably available to the alleged violator; and
(B) The alleged violator refuses to cease such person’s illegal activity after being issued a citation.
(2) Citation.
(A) There shall be provided for use by authorized police officers, a form of citation for use in citing violators for this article for instances that do not mandate the physical arrest of such violators. The form and content of such citation shall be as adopted or prescribed by the administrative judge of the district court and shall be printed on a form commensurate with the form of other citations used in modern methods of arrest, so designated to include all necessary information to make the same valid within the laws and rules of the State and the city.
(B) In every case when a citation is issued, a copy of the same shall be given to the violator; provided that the administrative judge of the district court may prescribe by giving the violator a copy of the citation and provide for the disposition of the original and any other copies.
(C) Every citation shall be consecutively numbered and each carbon copy shall bear the number of its respective original.
