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.
