D.C.J.S.

We three in Roanoke agreed in 1994 that locksmiths need to be licensed.                      We three also have been cleared for both State and Federal back ground check before this law, we also had insurance before this law. This law could and will get better, but I for one and maybe the only one will try every thing legally to but it into the localities where it belongs. The law as D.C.J.S. has incorporated it into its agency policy which in fact has nothing to do with law, it is this agencies convoluted policy that was written for Training Law Enforcement that has caused more paper work than the average locksmith has time for. The method they use to apply this policy is violates the Code of Virginia by require Private Security Service Businesses auto alarm to add the category of locksmith to their license, for the sake of $200.00 They have unleashed an unknown amount of unqualified, unscrupulous incompetent locksmiths by their action. How is that going to be for the safety, welfare, and benefit of the public? I would like to understand how the D.C.J.S. has the right to examine my customers personal information from job tickets based on policy, when I do not allow a Police Office, nor would he ask me to do that based on his inquiry unless they have evidence of a crime was committed. That is why I call it a tax bill. One more issue with this policy, is the D.C.J.S welling to tell the public that all private or personal information given to locksmiths well now be open to the Department of Criminal Justice Services. There is a reason for the word services on the end of their name, they are a service, not a law agency, and from what I can find out they do not have Police Powers. They should have opened it up to public meetings at the local level and all could have worked up a very good bill. The one big concern for the public as far as safety is the YELLOW PAGE and you failed to even address it.                  The ads are going out as I write this sentence and you want to tell us how to run a business.
