Countywide curfew begins Oct. 1

Countywide curfew will commence Oct. 1 for all persons under the age of 18 years. The curfew will run through Oct. 31 and require all persons under the age of 18 years to be off the streets and in their homes by 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and by midnight Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The curfew does not apply where children are accompanied by parents, legal guardians or custodians. 

Exception is also made for children attending church, school or employment activities.

Enforcement will be handled by all law enforcement agencies, including the sheriff's office, city or village police and juvenile probation officers.

Noting that Highland County Common Pleas Court Juvenile Division has no authority to set beggars' night and strictly as a convenience to law enforcement, it is suggested that each municipality and organization – should they elect to have beggars' night – set it from 6-8 p.m. on the last Thursday in October.
