Kansas City enforces weekend youth curfews and increased policing after a 15% homicide rate decrease.
Kansas City introduced youth curfews and extra policing during weekends, with minors aged 15 and under needing an adult after 10 PM, while 16- and 17-year-olds need one after 11 PM. In entertainment districts, 16- and 17-year-olds have a 9 PM curfew. These measures were taken after a 15% decrease in the city's homicide rate was announced by Mayor Quinton Lucas, who urged residents to avoid violence during the Memorial Day weekend.
