The City Manager is authorized and directed to supply police officers and meter attendants with citation tags, for the purpose of giving notice to persons violating any provisions of the traffic code or of other laws or ordinances affecting the use of highways. The notice may be given by delivering such tag to the violator, or by affixing it to the vehicle by means of which the violation occurred. The citation tags shall direct the violator to appear and to present such tag at a designated office of the city at or before a date and hour specified thereon. Nothing in this section shall be construed to abridge the power of a police officer to arrest any violator and take him into custody.
