Suffolk County Local Law 16-1994 establishes a countywide juvenile curfew applicable in Babylon: minors under 16 may not be in public places between 11 PM and 5 AM without a parent or legitimate purpose. Babylon has no separate town curfew.
The Suffolk County curfew applies across all towns and villages, including Babylon. Exceptions include travel to or from work, school, religious activity, or emergencies, and minors accompanied by a parent or guardian. Enforcement is by Suffolk County Police Department 1st Precinct, which covers the Town of Babylon. First offenses typically result in the minor being taken home and the parent warned.
Parents can be cited for permitting curfew violations, with fines up to 250 dollars. Minors are generally diverted to PINS (Persons in Need of Supervision) rather than charged criminally.
