Davenport bars minors under 18 from public places 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday nights, and midnight to 5 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights, unless an exception applies. Chapter 9.52 governs.
Davenport's juvenile curfew (Municipal Code Chapter 9.52) applies to any unemancipated minor under 18. Section 9.52.030 sets the hours: 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Sunday night through Friday morning, and midnight to 5:00 a.m. Friday night through Sunday morning. Exceptions in Section 9.52.040 cover minors accompanied by a responsible adult, traveling to or from work, religious, school, or governmental activities, First Amendment assemblies, emergency errands, and direct interstate travel. Officers may not handcuff or detain a curfew-only violator; they return the minor to a responsible adult.
First violation: written warning to the responsible adult by certified mail. Second violation is a simple misdemeanor for adult and minor, punishable by up to a $100 fine, 30 days jail, or community service (Sec. 9.52.070).
