There have been reports of minors on public streets, alleys, public places, or near places of business after curfew.
WHAT IS A CURFEW?
A curfew is how late a person under 16 years old can legally stay outside in a public place. Curfews are often different. Each Iowa city sets its own curfew; curfews will be different from city to city.
With the state of the world today it is imperative that children are safe in their homes; there is a global pandemic and there has been powerful protests throughout the globe. Be safe.
