Any authorized police officer, or any officer of the animal control contractor who has been deputized by the chief of police as a special officer for the purpose of enforcing this article, may issue a summons or citation to an alleged violator of this article. Procedures with respect to the design, form, content, numbering, and disposition of copies of the summons or citation shall be in all respects the same as those specified in § 12-4.6 , relating to summonses in connection with stray dogs. The summons or citation shall instruct such person to report to the violations bureau of the respective district courts of the City and County of Honolulu. Each such person may, within seven days after the receipt of such summons, appear at such violations bureau and post a bail bond, in such amounts as may be set by the administrative judge of the district courts, for appearance on the date as may be set out for such person to appear before the district court. Upon failure to appear upon such date, the bail bond shall be deemed forfeited.
