Who shall gather evidence of violations by unlicensed persons who engage in a business that requires a license?

• A. The Sheriff
• B. The Prosecuting Attorney
• C. The Chief shall gather evidence of violations by unlicensed persons who engage in a business requiring a license
• D. The City Clerk

Answer: (C)

Enforcement of licensing violations is handled by the Chief. The Chief is the official responsible for investigating unlicensed activity within the city, gathering the necessary evidence, and coordinating with the Prosecuting Attorney to take action. The Sheriff operates at the county level and isn’t the designated lead for city licensing violations. The Prosecuting Attorney prosecutes cases but usually relies on evidence collected by law enforcement, not the day-to-day gathering of evidence. The City Clerk administers licenses and records, not enforcement or evidence collection. So, the Chief shall gather evidence of violations by unlicensed persons who engage in a business that requires a license.
