Any business conducted intermittently within the Borough of Riverdale or at varying locations.
Each dealer conducting business within the jurisdiction of the Borough of Riverdale shall first register with the Chief of Police, who shall fingerprint the applicant and institute such an investigation of the applicant's moral character and business responsibility as he deems necessary for the protection of the public welfare. In the event that the dealer is a business entity other than a sole proprietorship, the officers in a corporation or the partners in a partnership (or limited partnership) shall be deemed to be the applicant(s) who shall be fingerprinted and investigated in accordance with this section. Upon completion of the investigation, the Chief of Police shall either issue or deny the license based upon the results of his investigation. Upon the issuance of the license, the applicant shall be given a copy of this Chapter 128.
Upon issuance of a license, the fee shall be based as provided in Chapter 95, Fees.
Each dealer shall maintain a complete record of each purchase and sale, including the amount paid, a description of the item and any identifying numbers or engravings. The dealer shall also obtain the name, address, and date of birth, driver's license number and state of issuance for the person from whom the items were purchased, received or sold. This information is to be documented on the secondhand jewelry transaction receipt form supplied by the Riverdale Police Department. These records shall be subject to the inspection of any authorized police officer of the Borough of Riverdale. The records required to be maintained shall be kept confidential by the dealer and shall be released only to appropriate law enforcement personnel.
Each dealer doing business in the Borough of Riverdale shall deliver to the Chief of Police the description of all items purchased, received or sold, within 48 hours of the completion of the transaction, on the secondhand jewelry transaction receipt forms prescribed by the Chief of Police.
