A. The discharge of weapons or explosives is prohibited as part of any film or photo production. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, discharges of “blanks” and simulated ammunition. Prior to issuance of a film or photo production permit by the village, the applicant shall verify, in writing to the police department, that the film or photo production shall comply with this requirement and that this prohibition has been communicated to all persons working on the film or photo production.
B. All film and photo productions are required to have security present during setup, actual production, and removal of all equipment and personnel. The chief of police is authorized to provide an opportunity for film and photo production companies to hire a police officer or officers in an extra duty capacity at a rate and policy to be designated by the chief of police. The chief of police or his designee is permitted to waive the requirements of this section under certain conditions. (Ord. 3294, 6-22-2009; amd. Ord. 3847, 12-6-2021)
