§ 37-5. Enforcement.

A. 

Any minor, as defined in § 37-2, found by a law enforcement officer to be in violation of this chapter shall be brought to the Paulsboro Borough Police Station, where the minor shall be released to his or her parent or guardian. The parent, as defined in § 37-2, shall be immediately notified and required to report to Paulsboro Borough Police Station to procure the minor.

B. 

When the summoned parent responds to the Paulsboro Borough Police Station to take charge of the minor and the appropriate identifying information has been recorded, the minor shall be released to the custody of such parent, as defined in § 37-2. If the parent cannot be located or fails to take charge of the minor, then the minor shall be released to the juvenile authorities except to the extent that, in accordance with police regulations or procedures promulgated by the Chief of Police, approved in advance for juvenile authorities, the minor may temporarily be entrusted to an adult, relative, neighbor or other person who will, on behalf of the parent, assume responsibility for caring for the minor pending availability of the parent.

C. 

In the case of a first violation by the minor, the minor and parent shall receive, by hand delivery or by certified mail and regular mail, a written warning notice from the arresting law enforcement officer indicating the circumstances under which the minor was found to be in violation of this chapter. The minor will also be subject to a station house adjustment for the violation.

D. 

If the minor has been convicted of violating this chapter on a prior occasion, there shall be a presumption that, whenever a minor has been convicted for a violation of this chapter, the parent or guardian having care of the minor knew or should have known of the minor's violation, as set forth in § 37-4 and N.J.S.A. 2A:53A-15 or any successor statute.
