Inglewood Municipal Code § 8-100 Registration, Fingerprinting and Photographing of Employees of Licensed Card…

It shall be unlawful for any licensed card club in the City to employ any person in connection with its operations or to allow any person to do business on its premises who is not the holder of a valid registration card issued by the Chief of Police. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person performing services on the card club premises shall be required to be registered unless said person is performing services in the card playing area or said services are related to gaming activities. No registration card will be issued without such person having first been fingerprinted and photographed by the Inglewood Police Department, another law enforcement agency within the United States, or such other person(s) as shall be approved by the Inglewood Police Department.

Applications for registration cards shall be reviewed subject to the procedures to be adopted and implemented by the Police Department. An application may be granted or denied by the Chief of Police. The Chief of Police may deny an application for registration for any relevant cause denoted in Section 8-97.1(E), without being limited thereto. Applicants for employee registration cards shall authorize the City to obtain any available criminal offender record information relating to the applicant and shall further authorize the updating of that information on an annual basis if a registration card is issued.

In recognition of the delays which may be encountered in obtaining all information on each applicant, the Chief of Police is hereby authorized to issue provisional registration cards which shall be valid for a period not to exceed six months and shall be issued under the terms and conditions to be determined by the Chief of Police.

Every employee shall keep his registration card on his person and available for inspection at all times when actively engaged in the conduct of any card club activities.

Every licensee shall, before employing any person in connection with the licensed card club activity, ascertain that such person holds a valid registration card issued in accordance with this regulation, and shall cause his employment records to reflect such fact.

It shall be the responsibility and duty of the Chief of Police to establish the necessary procedures to implement and administer the provisions of this Section.

The information received by the Chief of Police pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be treated as confidential.
