Sec. 177.401. - Bank security.

(a) In addition to any other security measures taken by banks, such banks shall install and maintain a video or other type of camera that is capable of recording and retrieving a clear and identifiable image to assist law enforcement personnel in offender identification and apprehension. Said camera shall be in operation at all times while the bank is open for business or during other times when the bank is occupied. Banks located within secured buildings shall be exempt from the requirements of this subsection and shall not be required to file for an exemption pursuant to subsection (b). For the purposes of this Part, secured building means a building operated by an entity other than the bank, with 24-hour on-site manned security or 24-hour camera monitoring of the building, including parking areas. Additionally, to qualify for this exemption, the bank within the secured building must not be open for business between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. (b) For purposes of this Part, any bank may file with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office a notice of exemption from the video or other type of camera security measures specified in subsection (a) above. An application for exemption must be in writing and must be accompanied by an administrative fee as found in www.jaxsheriff.org/fees , for each establishment for which an exemption would apply. The Sheriff shall review and determine whether to grant said exemption. This exemption will cease to apply upon any occurrence or incidence of the crimes identified in 177.301 (c) until another 24 months pass without incident of the crimes noted in 177.301 (c). (Ord.
