The name of the person, firm, corporation, civic association or governmental entity at whose instance the constable was appointed shall be plainly inscribed on such badge.

(b) Whoever violates this section shall be fined not more than $100. The justices of the peace of the respective counties shall have jurisdiction of offenses under this section. A constable found violating this section shall notify the Board of Examiners in writing within 10 days.

A failure to notify the Board of Examiners of a violation within 20 days shall be sufficient ground to revoke constable status.
