As required, the Chief of Police may draw demands against said moneys, payable to the Chief of Police, and upon receipt of said moneys shall thereafter safely keep them and expend them for Secret Service purposes. It shall be sufficient in drawing demands on the Secret Service Account to designate the purpose thereof as “for Secret Service” and the Controller may audit any such demand or warrant and the City Treasurer may pay the same without further specification as to object.
SECTION HISTORY
Based on Ord. No. 83,550.
The Chief of Police shall submit to the City Controller, monthly or oftener, a detailed account showing amounts and general purposes for which the Chief expended or caused to be expended the funds so paid to the Chief.

When, in the opinion of the Chief of Police, the public interest would suffer by the disclosure of the name of any person to whom any sum or sums were paid or advanced, or the cause for which the same was expended or advanced, such record shall be maintained confidential, in the public interest. For accounting purposes, the Chief of Police may indicate the name of such person or describe the police operation by an appropriate key or symbol. The Chief of Police shall not be compelled to disclose the identity of such operative or operation to any officer or person except to the Board of Police Commissioners, the City Controller, or to the Chairperson of the Budget and Finance Committee of the City Council, or to the Chairperson of the Public Safety Committee of the City Council, on their written request; and any disclosures made as required hereunder shall be maintained confidential by the City Controller, Board of Police Commissioners or Chairperson of the Budget and Finance Committee of the City Council, or to the Chairperson of the Public Safety Committee of the City Council, excepting where such disclosures reveal illegal use of such funds or malfeasance in relation thereto.
