Causes for revocation or suspension. A registration card issued\npursuant to this article may be suspended or revoked for one or more of\nthe following causes:\n a. the holder is convicted of a serious offense, or of a misdemeanor\nin the state which, in the discretion of the secretary, bears such a\nrelationship to the performance of the duties of a security guard, as to\nconstitute a bar to employment;\n b. the application contained a material false statement or omission\nthe truth or inclusion of which would have resulted in denial of the\napplication pursuant to section eighty-nine-k of this article;\n c. the holder is in violation of any provisions of this article or the\nrules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this article;\n d. employment of the holder as a security guard constitutes a danger\nto the health, safety or well-being of the public.\n 3.
