The Chief of Police may refuse registration if it is found that the applicant or any person financially interested in the operation of the fixed patrol business or street patrol business is a person of bad moral character. For this purpose the Chief of Police may, in his discretion, consider any facts or evidence which he believes is relevant and will reflect on the moral fitness and reputation of those who will be in charge of such fixed patrol or street patrol business.
Should the Chief of Police refuse registration, the applicant for a street patrol business or private patrol business may appeal in the same manner as provided for revocation in Section 1750.12 of this Article.
Upon granting the registration application, the Chief of Police, or the Police Commission on appeal, shall designate the portion or portions of the City and County of San Francisco within which such street patrol business may be carried on, and shall specify therein such other reasonable additional requirements imposed upon applicant as are necessary to meet local needs and are not inconsistent with the provisions of the California Business and Professions Code; provided, however, that no person shall be allowed to register as a fixed patrol business or a street patrol business who is not licensed under the provisions of said Code. Such registration shall be disapproved where the territory sought has been allocated to a patrol special officer appointed pursuant to Section 3.536 of the Charter of the City and County of San Francisco; provided, however, such patrol special officer shall not be licensed as a fixed patrol operator.
