·         Applications will be reviewed and if approved, signed by the Chief of Police.  Approved applications will only be available for pick-up at the front desk every Friday after 12:00 p.m.  

·         Applications dropped off after 11:00 a.m. on Friday, will be available for pick up on the following Friday.

·         Applications must be received by the Bay City Police Department at least 20 days prior to the date of the event or there may not be sufficient time for MLCC to review.
