Police Permits are required for the following business activities and professions. Except for Alarm Systems, fingerprints are required for new applicants. Application fees for new permits and for location changes may be submitted at our office locations. Please note that Police Permits are subject to disclosure under the Public Records Acts.

Beginning July 1, 2005, the Department of Justice will no longer accept hard copy fingerprints. Therefore, anyone who is required to obtain a police permit (except Alarm Permits) will need to get Live Scan fingerprinting. "All corporate officers, general partners, and other person(s) with greater than 5% financial interest in the business must" complete a police permit application and submit a completed Live Scan fingerprinting form. Applicants will need to come into one of the public offices of the Office of Finance, Revenue Management Division to submit the application and go elsewhere for the Live Scan. Regarding spouses: Except for corporate officers, each MARRIED PERSON completing an application MUST sign a statement that his or her spouse will in no manner participate in the conduct of the business. If the applicant does NOT sign such statement, the spouse, MUST complete an application and be Live Scan fingerprinted. |
