NEWARK, N.J. (PIX11) — An overnight curfew for minors in Newark begins Friday, according to  Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka.

The curfew ordinance was originally set to begin in April, but the mayor’s office postponed the initiative. The youth curfew will be in effect from Friday through Sunday. Once the school year concludes on June 21, it will be enforced every day between 11 a.m. and 5 a.m., city officials said.

We’re beginning this summer with the end in mind,” Mayor Ras Baraka said. “Our primary objective is to ensure that all Newark residents, including our youth, enjoy a safe and fun-filled summer.”

“This year, we are taking a holistic approach by facilitating the leadership of the Office of Violence Prevention and Trauma Recovery in pursuing this goal,” he continued.

Newark Police will ask for a minor’s name, age, address, and parental contact if they are spotted outside after the curfew.
