The Charleston City Council to vote on the proposal for youthful starting blocks, with increasing crime concerns

Charleston County, SC (WCIV) – A new curfew for young people aged 17 and below can come to Charleston County because the city council is preparing to coordinate the topic on May 27th.

The city's public security committee used the problem in a meeting on Tuesday evening, so that an abundance of crimes with young people in the central business district is involved.

Chito Walker, police chief of Charleston, says that the department has documented 40 serious incidents with young people in the central business district since last year.

If the change is adopted, the change would generate an outcome lock, which would be available from Thursday and Sunday between 9:00 p.m. and 6 a.m. for people aged 17 and over. In the months of July and August, the outcome lock would be in force every day.

“We tried to concentrate with this ordinance to ensure that we deal with the problem. We did not take a flat rate. We did not say a base of the peninsula. We did not say any urban approach. We tried to concentrate on the problem, and the problem is that these children are really on the outside of alcohol -sponized facilities here,” said Walker.

At the meeting on Tuesday evening, the Committee for Public Security approved the regulation and changed the map of the affected areas from East Bay Street to Broad Street and the King Street to Carolina Street.

The outcome lock will now run in front of the city council in front of the city council at its next meeting, which will take place on May 27.
