(A) Any police officer may stop and question any minor suspected of violating the provisions of §§ 133.50 through 133.53. Prior to arresting or citing a child for curfew, or taking a child into custody, the police officer must make reasonable inquiry to determine whether any of the exceptions contained in § 133.50(B) apply, in addition to the age and time requirements set forth in § 133.50(A). An officer shall issue a citation or make an arrest for curfew or take a child into custody only if the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the child has violated §133.50 and that no exceptions apply. Upon taking a person under 17 years of age into custody, the police officer shall immediately communicate with the parent, legal guardian, or custodian of that person.
(B) The Juvenile Officer shall cause a written notice to be served on the parent, guardian, or other custodian of a person less than 17 years of age who has been taken into custody by the Police Department, advising the parent, guardian or custodian of the circumstances of the detention.
