§ 30-10. Employees.

The holder of any license certificate issued pursuant to this chapter may employ to assist him in his work as private detective, and in the conduct of such business, as many persons as he may deem necessary, and shall at all times during such employment be legally responsible for the good conduct in the business of each and every person so employed, however, no person, other than office employees shall be employed who is not a licensed private detective under this chapter.

No holder of any unexpired license certificate shall knowingly employ in connection with his business, in any capacity whatsoever, any person who has been convicted of a felony, or who has been discharged from a law enforcement agency for cause, or any person whose private detective license was revoked or application for such license denied by the authorities of this city, or any other city or state, or who has been found guilty of illegally using, carrying or possessing a pistol or other dangerous weapon, buying or receiving stolen property or any offense indicating moral turpitude. Should the holder of an unexpired license certificate falsely state or represent that a person is or has been in his employ, such false statement or misrepresentation shall be sufficient cause for the revocation of such license. Any person falsely stating or representing that he is or has been a detective or employed by a detective agency, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
