Without limiting subsection (1), at a hearing before a Licensing Authority,—
- the Commissioner of Police may be represented by any constable or by counsel; and
- the applicant may appear in person or be represented by counsel, or both.
At the conclusion of the hearing, a Licensing Authority must determine whether to uphold or dismiss the Police objection.
