LASPD Enforcement of Daytime Curfew laws Revised October 19, 2011

NOTICE- 11-04
This Notice reinforces the LASPDs commitment to support the Superintendents goals of attendance and graduation improvement, and reduce the cycle of student push out. The proper application of the ordinance is for minor students who are intentionally avoiding school, or are loitering in public places at times when they are required to be in school. Minor students who are making a good faith effort to get to school, regardless of their tardiness, generally should not be subject to a citation or an arrest for curfew, unless other factors are present to justify an arrest for another offense. No ON-SITE enforcement.
