(2) Field Inspections. All corporate security advisors are subject to unannounced field inspections by officers of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department to insure that the corporate security advisor is in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.

(3) Failure to Cooperate. Failure by any corporate security advisor to cooperate with a commissioned member of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department in the inspection procedures will constitute grounds for disciplinary action.

The corporate security advisor shall be suspended and shall not be permitted to continue working until the matter is resolved by the private security section. If arrested for a felony violation, a formal suspension number will be obtained in the normal manner.
