This chapter
shall be known as the "Commercial Security Code."
B.
The purpose
of this chapter is to enhance the safety and welfare of all persons
lawfully accessing during business hours retail shopping centers in
the Township of Pohatcong by requiring private security patrols for
larger shopping centers as defined herein below.
As used in this chapter:
The owner of a shopping center and any legal entity legally
authorized by the owner of the shopping center to manage, lease or
operate the shopping center.
Any retail establishment consisting of one or more commercial
enterprises with common areas open to the public, including parking
lots, sidewalks, pedestrian ways and open space, that has a total
gross floor area of 125,000 square feet or more.
A.
The operator
of every shopping center shall provide not less than one uniformed
security officer for the patrol of all enclosed and unenclosed areas
accessible to the public, including parking lots, from one hour before
opening to one hour after the close of business. The requirements
of this section shall be enforceable, jointly and severally, against
the owner, primary lessee(s) or management company of every shopping
center.
B.
Security
personnel required pursuant to this chapter shall make periodic foot
and vehicular patrols and inspections of the interior and common areas
of each shopping center, including the parking areas. Vehicular patrols
shall be undertaken in a motor vehicle marked and identified as a
security vehicle with a flashing amber rotating light clearly visible
to the general public.
C.
Security
personnel shall notify the Pohatcong Township Police Department in
the event of any observed violation of law or other unlawful conduct
and shall not have the authority to issue summonses or make arrests
or exercise any other authority exclusively within the purview of
the Township's Police Department.
The operator of each shopping center covered by this chapter
shall provide the Pohatcong Township Police Department with the name,
address and contact numbers for the security service and/or security
officer(s) retained in compliance with this chapter.
In the event that the requisite security services shall not
be provided at a shopping center in accordance with the provisions
of this chapter:
A.
Each person
who shall violate any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction,
be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 or less than $100 or
imprisonment in jail for not less than 90 days, or both.
B.
Each day
upon which a violation of this chapter takes place shall constitute
a separate offense.
