As part of its continued commitment to community safety, the City of Erie is reminding residents of its year-round curfew ordinance for individuals under the age of 18.<\/p>\n
City officials emphasize that the curfew is designed to protect young people and promote a safer environment throughout the community.<\/p>\n
Under the ordinance, minors must remain at home between the hours of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., unless they are accompanied by a parent or guardian.<\/p>\n
The curfew aims to reduce risks associated with unsupervised late-night activity and ensure the well-being of the city\u2019s youth. Officials stress that parental involvement is key in helping young residents understand and follow the law.<\/p>\n
While the ordinance is strictly enforced, there are a few exceptions. Minors may be out during curfew hours in the case of an emergency. Additionally, those accompanied by a parent or legal guardian are not subject to the curfew restrictions.<\/p>\n
City leaders encourage parents and guardians to discuss the curfew with their children and reinforce the importance of adhering to the rules.<\/p>\n
The City of Erie hopes that through community cooperation and awareness, the curfew will continue to serve as an effective measure to keep young residents safe.<\/p>\n
The city reminds residents that, \u201cSafety is everyone\u2019s responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
