Raleigh Council Weighs Teen Curfew Debate | Durham News

Raleigh’s City Council is weighing a potential curfew for minors after a July Fourth gathering dubbed a “teen takeover,” but no decision is imminent. Council members are divided: some, including Corey Branch and Police Chief Rico Boyce, see a curfew as a tool to manage youth behavior and involve parents, while others like Jane Harrison question its relevance—since many arrested were over 18—and warn of unintended consequences.

Meanwhile, police are exploring alternative strategies like “Hoop Nights” to build positive youth engagement. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
