INFORMATION COURTESY RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPT. PRESS RELEASE
On Friday, April 11, 2014, deputies assigned to the Eastvale Police Department, in a collaborative effort with the Jurupa Community Services District, conducted a nighttime curfew enforcement operation between the hours of 10:00 P.M. and 1:00 A.M. The deputies patrolled thirteen parks located within the city of Eastvale in search of minors who were present at the parks after 10:00 P.M., which is a violation of the nighttime curfew ordinance. The deputies also searched for adults who were present at any of the parks after they closed at 10:00 P.M., which is a violation of the city ordinance.
During the enforcement, several individuals were contacted, one of whom was found to be in violation of the curfew ordinance and four who were in violation for being present at the parks after 10:00 P.M. Two additional persons were arrested; one for possession of marijuana, and another for an outstanding felony warrant from the state of Colorado for violating his terms as a registered sex offender.
The goal of this nighttime curfew enforcement was to take a proactive approach to nighttime curfew violators and anyone who is present at the parks after closing hours. This type of enforcement operation will have a positive impact on decreasing the amount of illegal activity that occurs at the parks after hours such as vandalism, and the use of alcohol and drugs. This enforcement operation met expectations and future operations of this type are planned.
