FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) – As summer break continues, Fort Wayne Police are reminding families about Indiana’s curfew law for minors.

Children under 15 are not allowed in public between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., while older teens face additional overnight restrictions depending on the day of the week.

Officers say the law is designed to improve safety and reduce late-night problems.

Parents are encouraged to know where their children are and when they’ll be home.
