(i)In order to properly protect a licensee's premises and the weapons and ammunition stored within, the New York City Police Department requires that dealers utilize its "Crime Prevention Security Survey." A member of the New York City Police Department will come to a licensee's business establishment and inspect the building for security measures. After the inspection, the officer will recommend and suggest various methods in order to better protect the premises. These recommendations may include the choice of locks, gates, and alarm systems suitable for the licensee's premises. The inspection is free of charge. Licensees shall contact their local police precinct, and request an appointment with the Crime Prevention Officer or the Community Policing Supervisor for a survey of the premises.
