An emergency curfew is in effect in Trenton, New Jersey, following, what officials said was an increase in violent incidents during the summer months.
“In the last few months, multiple acts of violence have been carried out in this area during these late-night weekend hours. This action is a necessary step to help ensure the safety of Trenton residents and protect our community” said Mayor W. Reed Gusciora.
The curfew takes effect Friday, Aug. 7, along East State Street between West Canal Street and South Broad Street.
It will be enforced from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. on weekends, beginning Friday nights and ending Monday mornings. Businesses in the affected area must close during those hours.
In addition to the curfew, the City of Trenton said it has implemented multiple other public safety measures, including increased police presence and parking enforcement, improved cleanup efforts, and stronger enforcement during disruptive activities.
