San Bernardino County Code Chapter 34.01 prohibits minors under 18 from being in public places from 10 PM to 5 AM without a parent, guardian, or legitimate purpose such as work, school, or emergency.
San Bernardino County Code Title 3, Chapter 34.01 establishes a juvenile curfew ordinance for unincorporated areas. Minors under 18 years of age are prohibited from being in public places, streets, or establishments from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, returning home from school or employment, traveling on a legitimate errand, responding to an emergency, or engaged in First Amendment-protected activities. Parents and guardians can also be cited for permitting curfew violations. The Sheriff's Department enforces curfew primarily in high-foot-traffic areas and in response to complaints. Most incorporated cities within the county (San Bernardino, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Victorville, Redlands) have adopted similar curfew ordinances. Violations are typically processed through juvenile diversion programs before formal citations. Contact the San Bernardino County Sheriff at (909) 387-8313 for enforcement questions.
Juvenile curfew violation: infraction for first offense, may result in diversion program referral. Parents permitting violation: infraction citation. Repeat offenses may escalate to misdemeanor.
