Greenville's new curfew goes into effect Monday, September 1st.

Police Chief William Anderson says a number of crimes are committed by teens as young as 15 years old and that's why it's crucial to have them off the streets.

Chief Anderson says they're ready for the curfew. "We're not expecting to be overwhelmed or anything, it's just another tool that we're going to use to deal with some issues in Greenville."

The curfew is Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. and midnight to 6:00 a.m. Friday & Saturday.

They should have implemented this at the beginning of the summer. Since schools back in and they more then likely wont have the high numbers of children they will catch during the first weeks of next summer. Mark my words this will be all over the news next week with parents complaining and then we wont hear a thing about it untill next summer. Then parents will start complaining thats its summertime and why should they be stuck in the house.
