Tulsa enforces a juvenile curfew ordinance prohibiting minors under 18 from being in public places during late-night hours. The curfew is designed to reduce juvenile crime and protect minors from victimization during nighttime hours.
Tulsa's curfew prohibits minors under 18 from being in public places between 11 PM and 5 AM on weeknights (Sunday through Thursday) and between midnight and 5 AM on weekends (Friday and Saturday nights). Exceptions include minors accompanied by a parent or guardian, traveling to or from work, responding to emergencies, exercising First Amendment rights, and minors who are emancipated. Parents who knowingly allow curfew violations may also face penalties.
Curfew violations may result in minors being detained and released to parents. Parents who knowingly permit violations can be fined. Repeat offenses result in escalating penalties including potential juvenile court referral.
