Monroe County sets no juvenile curfew. Each borough and township may adopt one under its municipal police power, so any curfew for minors depends on whether Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg, or your township has enacted one. County-wide, there is no minors' curfew.
There is no countywide juvenile curfew in Monroe County; the power to set one belongs to each municipality. Pennsylvania boroughs and townships may enact curfew ordinances barring minors under a set age, often 17 or 18, from public places during late-night hours, typically running around 11 p.m. or midnight to 6 a.m. The usual exceptions cover a minor accompanied by a parent, traveling to or from work, or responding to an emergency. Denser boroughs like Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg are likelier to have adopted one; many rural townships have not. Penalties generally fall on the parent, starting with a warning. Because each municipality sets its own hours and ages, the applicable curfew depends on where you are.
Municipal police, not the county, enforce a local curfew. A first violation usually brings a warning and parental notice; repeat violations draw an ordinance fine against the parent, and habitual violations can be referred to juvenile court.
