Mobile Police have issued a statement reminding residents that the downtown juvenile curfew will be strongly enforced

Downtown Curfew Enforcement and Safety Measures for Teenagers this Summer

As the summer season approaches, we understand that teenagers are eagerly seeking ways to enjoy their free time. However, it's important for us to emphasize the importance of adhering to the curfew regulations, especially for minors under the age of 18 in the Downtown Entertainment District.

We request everyone's cooperation and understanding as officers will be diligently enforcing the curfew. The curfew hours are from 10:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. the following day. It is our responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our young community members, and police personnel will be conducting thorough ID checks to enforce these regulations.

The Mobile Police Department will heavily enforce Article XIII - Sec. 39-261, which specifically pertains to the curfew ordinance in the "Downtown Entertainment District.” This means that strict measures will be in place to ensure compliance with the curfew regulations. We urge parents and legal guardians to take an active role in accompanying minors after curfew hours, ensuring their safety and compliance with the regulations.

The Mobile Police Department is committed to fostering a safe and orderly environment for Mobile residents, visitors, and all participants. By respecting and abiding by the curfew regulations, we can collectively create an atmosphere where everyone can have a memorable and enjoyable experience. Let's work together to make this summer a safe one for all.
