Laurel Reinstates Youth Curfew for Summer

Laurel, Maryland is reviving its youth curfew for summer, locking down public spaces for teens 17 and under between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. from June 18 through September 8 — a repeat of last year’s policy with a slightly earlier start. Teens can still be out if with a parent or heading straight home from events, with an hour to get back. The mayor frames it as a safety net for families and community growth, echoing D.C.’s model where curfews vary by zone and can start as early as 8 p.m. Violators risk being taken into custody, with parents required to pick them up immediately — all in the name of a safer, more welcoming summer for everyone.
