Miami Florida Curfew Hours For Ages 17 Down Implemented
For safety reasons, Miami Police are now enforcing a curfew for children under the age of 17.
Curfew hours are 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday to Thursday and midnight to 6 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Police say exemptions include if a child is with a parent or legal guardian or someone over 21 years old who has permission to be responsible for the child; and if the juvenile is working or traveling to or from work, traveling interstate, or has written permission to run an errand from a parent or guardian.
Kids found not in compliance with the ordinance will be escorted home or to the nearest police station or holding facility and their parents will be contacted.
Children under 17 are not allowed to “linger, stay, congregate, move about, wander, or stroll in any public place in Miami-Dade County, either on foot or in a vehicle during curfew hours,” according to police.
