He explained that criminally, the individual receives a fine, may be required to participate in additional training and remain law abiding for a period of one year and then goes away. He stated that the city, in the past, has imposed civil penalties on establishments/individuals that have violated the law, and required additional training through the Centennial Lakes Police Department.
