Before taking any enforcement action under this chapter, a police officer shall ask the apparent offender's age and reason for being in the public place. The officer shall not issue a citation or make an arrest under this chapter unless the officer reasonably believes that an offense has occurred and that, based on any response and other circumstances, no defense is present. If a citation is issued, parents will be given a report of curfew violation, which they will be asked to read and sign. (Ord. 60, 12-20-1994)
