Since the outcome lock came into force, Shockley reported on a noticeable decline in night disorders.

“I think we have exhibited very little verbal warnings and didn't have to charge anyone,” said Shockley.

City officials are confident that the outcome lock will continue to promote a safer environment for all Nashville residents.

This update takes place at a time when the city of Fayetteeville decided a curfew in response to concerns regarding unattended teenagers.
