Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 661 - Public Safety Department › Chapter 121 - Bail Enforcement, Private Investigation, and Private Security Businesses › Rule 661-121.11 - Employee Identification Cards

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1) The employee identification card issued
			 by the commissioner shall include the employee's name and color photograph,
			 agency name and number, type of business, date of issuance and identification
			 card number.
The identification card shall be evidence that the holder is
				duly authorized to work for the licensed agency. The holder shall have this
				card in the holder's possession at all times when acting within the scope of
				employment. Failure to do so may result in suspension or revocation of the
				identification card or the agency license. This identification card shall
				remain the department's property. When any person to whom a card is issued
				terminates the person's position for any reason, the card must be surrendered
				to the commissioner within seven days. In the event of loss, destruction, or
				theft of this card, the licensee shall within five days of such discovery send
				to the commissioner a written report that describes the circumstances
				surrounding the loss, destruction, or theft. If the agency license has been
				terminated or revoked, the agency must return the license and all
				identification cards to the commissioner within seven days. The penalty for any
				knowing or willful misconduct in the use of the identification card may be
				revocation of the identification card or the agency license or both, depending
				on the nature and degree of the misconduct.
The fee for each application form (Form #PD2) for an original,
				temporary, or replacement employee identification card is $10. The fee is
				refundable for blank, unused forms returned to the department.
A nonrefundable fee to cover the cost of processing fingerprint
				cards through the FBI shall be submitted with each new application for an
				employee identification card. If fingerprints are rejected as unreadable the
				first time they are submitted, they may be resubmitted once for no additional
				fee. If fingerprints are submitted twice and both submissions are rejected as
				unreadable, subsequent submissions shall require additional processing fees,
				which shall be included with the submissions.
(2) Temporary identification cards. The
			 Identification Card Application for: Private Investigator/Private Security
			 Guard/Bail Enforcement Agent, Form #PD2, shall contain a temporary
			 identification card that shall be valid for 14 calendar days from the date of
			 issuance. This temporary identification card shall be issued to new employees
			 of a licensee so that the requirement that employees have in their possession a
			 valid identification card may be met while the application for a permanent
			 identification card is being processed. The application for an employee
			 identification card must be received by the department in sufficient time to
			 allow four business days for processing. Any application for an employee
			 identification card received by the department without the specified minimum
			 time for processing or after the temporary identification card has expired will
			 be returned to the licensed agency. A new Form #PD2 must then be resubmitted
			 under the requirements of rule
			 661-121.6
			 (80A).
(3) Replacement of
			 identification cards. The commissioner shall issue a duplicate employee
			 identification card upon the submission of a complete new application (Form
			 #PD2), with associated fees as required in rule
			 661-121.6
			 (80A) and upon receipt of a written statement that the original employee
			 identification card has been lost, destroyed, stolen or otherwise rendered
			 useless. If the original employee identification card is recovered, it shall be
			 returned immediately to the department.
(4) Display of identification cards. When an
			 employee of a licensed agency is acting within the scope of employment and is
			 requested to produce identification, the employee shall promptly display the
			 employee identification card and allow the requester to reasonably examine the
			 identification card and write down any information contained thereon. Failure
			 to comply may result in revocation of the identification card or license. The
			 employee may refuse to comply with the request to produce identification if,
			 and only if, displaying the employee identification card would put the employee
			 or another person in danger, or would jeopardize an assignment or
			 investigation.
