(A) An animal control officer, police officer or any adult person may request under oath that a dog be classified as dangerous as defined by § 92.106 by submitting a sworn, written complaint of a form approved by the Chief of Police to the City Police Department. Upon receipt of such complaint, the Chief of Police shall notify the owner of the dog that a complaint has been filed and that an investigation into the allegations as set forth in the complaint will be conducted.
(B) At the conclusion of an investigation, the Chief of Police may:
(1) Determine that the dog is not dangerous and, if the dog is impounded, waive any impoundment fees incurred and release the dog to its owner; or
(2) Determine that the dog is dangerous and order the owner to comply with the requirements for keeping dangerous dogs set forth in § 92.111, and if the dog is impounded, release the dog to its owner after the owner has paid all fees incurred for the impoundment. If all impoundment fees have not been paid within ten business days after a final determination that a dog is dangerous and notice given to the owner of that determination the Aldermen assigned to the Zoning Department may revoke the license for the dog or may, in their discretion, order that the license for said dog not be renewed in which case the provisions of §§ 92.060 through 92.067 shall apply.
