(A) A police officer upon finding or being notified of any minor in or upon any place of public assembly, building, place, street, sidewalk, or highway, whose parent is believed to be in violation of this section, may stop and question such minor and request such information as his or her name, age, and the name and address of his or her parent, guardian, or person having legal custody.
(B) (1) If the police officer determines or has reasonable cause to believe that a curfew violation has occurred, the police officer may obtain from the minor information necessary to contact the minor's parent, guardian, or other adult having legal custody and then take the following action.
(2) For first time violations the officer will take custody of the minor and contact the parent. Following contact the officer will make arrangements for the safe return of the minor. The officer will issue a written warning informing the parent of the curfew violation and provide them with a copy of the curfew ordinance. If the officer is unable to make contact with the parent the officer may release the minor to another adult who is willing to take responsibly for the minor. In either case the officer will insure the parent is provided written notice of the violation and a copy of the ordinance.
