Juvenile curfews in Rockland County are set at the town/village level, not by the county. Village of Haverstraw has historically enforced a youth curfew under its village code. Town of Ramapo and Village of Spring Valley have also used curfew provisions during specific public safety responses. Typical hours restrict minors under 17 from public places after 10 or 11 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends, with exceptions for minors accompanied by a parent, returning from employment, or engaged in a First Amendment activity. Rockland County Sheriff enforces on county property only; municipal police enforce within their jurisdictions.
Parents typically cited as responsible party; fines range $50-$250. Minors returned home or to juvenile authorities. Violations of village curfews prosecuted in local justice court.
