Sec. 5.12. Licenses and other official identification

(a) Upon the approval of the application, the commission will issue a license to the applicant. Licenses of inland security officers, inland supervisory security officers and management security officers will be limited to employment by the sponsoring employer.

(b) A badge will be issued, or replaced, by the commission to each licensee and holder of a temporary permit except a management security officer licensed under section 5.1(a)(3) of this Part, upon payment of a $10 deposit. All badges shall be issued by and remain the property of the commission. The badge will be worn by each licensee and holder of a temporary permit on the outer garment on the left chest so as to be clearly visible at all times during his tour of duty. Under special circumstances, upon application to the commission by the employer, the requirement to wear a badge while on duty may be waived.

(c) Any licensee or holder of a temporary permit who, without good cause, does not work as a security officer or supervisory security officer for at least three calendar months shall deposit the badge or temporary badge issued him with the commission for safekeeping. A badge or temporary badge will be reissued to such person upon their return to work as a security officer or supervisory security officer.

(d) The loss of such badge or temporary badge shall be reported by the licensee or holder of a temporary permit to the commission immediately after the loss. Upon proof by affidavit of such loss, a new badge or temporary badge will be issued by the commission.

(e) Each licensee or holder of a temporary permit shall return his license or temporary permit and badge to the commission upon the surrender, suspension, revocation or other termination of such license or permit. Upon such return of the badge, the deposit will be refunded.
