El Paso County, CO Curfew Laws: Juvenile Curfew (2026)

Minors under 18 may not be in public places, streets, parks, or business premises during curfew hours: 11 PM-5 AM Sunday through Thursday; midnight-5 AM Friday and Saturday. Exceptions include: accompanied by parent/guardian, traveling to or from work with employer documentation, attending school-sponsored or religious event, emergency, or running errand for parent with signed note. First offense typically a warning; second offense $50-$150 fine to parent/guardian; repeat offenses up to $500 and referral to El Paso County juvenile court. Fountain, Manitou Springs, and Monument enforce parallel curfews. Colorado Springs Police Department issues curfew citations most actively in downtown, Citadel Mall, and Memorial Park areas.

USAFA, Peterson, and Fort Carson have military-family curfew orders independent of city code. Daytime curfew during school hours enforced through truancy statutes.
