City of CJ will enforce curfew law enforcement
From our weekly issue dated June 24, 2009
Josephine County Sheriff’s Office is warning teen-agers that Cave Junction’s curfew ordinance will be enforced this summer.
Section 9.28 of the city of Cave Junction Municipal Code will be enforced, said Deputy George Gasperson, city contract officer. It establishes a curfew of 10:30 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays for children 16 years and younger.
Persons 16 to 18 years old will have a midnight curfew on those days, and a midnight curfew will apply to everyone younger than 18 on Fridays and Saturdays.
The city officer said that warnings will be issued to parents and juvenile persons for the first curfew violation. The second violation can result in parents being cited for not controlling their children, Gasperson said.
Parents also will be cited if they fail to pick up their children, in the event that their youngsters end up in police custody.
The deputy said that the curfew enforcement stems from the need to stop vandalism, which “seems to be a problem every summer.”
