(1) The name, age, sex and a general description of the individual with whom the transaction is had, as well as the individual’s residence and his or her signature on the receipt and permanent record kept by the dealer;

(3) The price or consideration paid or received at the time of the transaction;
(4) A description of every article (except newspapers, magazines, wastepaper, rags and clothing) received, purchased, sold or exchanged by the dealer, including the manufacturer’s name and other marks of identification appearing on the article, including, but not limited to, the serial number, if any, on the article;

(6) The signature of the person making the entry.

(D) The record shall be retained for one year from the date of the transaction.
(E) A digital photograph(s) of each non-junk/scrap article purchased or received as trade, barter, pledge, or pawn by a pawnbroker or secondhand dealer, sufficiently detailed to allow reasonable identification of each article. If each article contains any identifying numbers, marks, writing, engraving, etc., or any other distinguishing characteristics, the digital image(s) shall capture the same. Such digital photographs shall be made available to the Police Department upon request and shall be posted on a city designated LeadsOnline system on the same business day acquired.
