City of Sacramento Curfew Law by Capt. Hahn

The City of Sacramento has a curfew law that makes it a misdemeanor for
any minor to remain in any public place or any establishment within the
city during curfew hours - which is any time after 10:00 pm. There are
some exceptions to this ordinance such as if the minor is with their
parent or attending an official school function, religious function, or
organized dance or sporting event that is supervised by adults.

The Sacramento Police Department will conduct random Curfew Sweeps over
the next several months in an attempt to ensure that young people are
complying with this City Ordinance.

If you would like more information about Sacramento’s Curfew
Ordinance, you can go to www.cityofsacramento.org and select “City
Codes”. The Curfew Ordinance is 9.40.020 of the Sacramento City Code.
It is the hope of the Sacramento Police Department that minors will be
engaged in positive and productive things late at night as opposed to
being violation of the Curfew Ordinance.
