Fort Worth Council to Consider Keeping Curfew

FORT WORTH (WBAP/KLIF News) – People in Forth Worth will sound off Tuesday night about the possible renewal of a curfew for teens.

Council is considering extending the 20-year-old ordinance for another three years.

It requires minors under the age of 17 to be off of the streets from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Thursday, and midnight to 6 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

The curfew is touted as a way to reduce crime and prevent teens from becoming crime victims.
