§ 12-97. Investigation of applicant for special police officer.

A fee as set forth in Appendix A to this Code shall be charged and paid into the City treasury to aid in defraying the costs of conducting an investigation of the character and qualifications of each person whom an applicant (an individual, firm or corporation) requests the Chief of Police to appoint a special police officer. However, no fee shall be charged to Virginia Union University, and no fee shall be charged to an applicant who requests the Chief of Police to appoint as a special police officer a City police officer who has retired from City service within 180 days of the application date. Such fee shall, if the person so investigated is found qualified by the Chief of Police to perform the duties of a special police officer, entitle the person upon appointment as a special police officer to serve at one location of the applicant, and a permit shall be issued for such person to perform the duties of a special police officer at one location upon appointment. For each additional location that the applicant desires such person so appointed as a special police officer to serve, additional permits for each such location in the City may be obtained upon the payment of a fee as set forth in Appendix A to this Code for each such permit.
