Roy Police hope curfew for minors will curb rise in graffiti.

Police in Roy, Utah, have introduced a curfew for juveniles in response to a recent increase in graffiti, especially in public parks. The curfew restricts minors from being out between midnight and 6 a.m., with violators receiving citations and requiring a parent to pick them up.

While some residents, such as Jessica Cortez, appreciate the effort, they express doubts about the curfew's effectiveness and advocate for more security cameras. Police acknowledge that while some parks have cameras, expanding surveillance is costly, and they encourage residents to use home security systems to help deter vandalism.

Roy Police hope curfew for minors will curb rise in graffiti

Getting one park here in Roy to go from this to what you see right here behind me can be a challenge. I'm currently in a hasset here in Roy where police are implementing a new curfew after seeing a rise in graffiti but some residents I spoke to wonder if it's enough. It's been almost a month since we talked to Jessica Cortez whose home went from this to this. She says graffiti at her home has gotten better. Nothing on our end. We were able to cover our fence with the white but it's still damaged. There's still you can still see through it. But other areas aren't doing so well. According to Sergeant Josh Taylor from the Roy Police Department, graffiti in public parks has gotten worse. Just over the last couple days we've had three or four cases where things have been tagged with graffiti two different parks I believe. Taylor says while they have a list of suspects they have yet to catch anyone doing it. He says it's gotten so bad that police are now issuing a curfew for juveniles. Cortez says while she appreciates the effort she thinks more needs to be done. I'm not hopeful if they still want to graffiti. I don't think that having a curfew or anything is going to stop them. I really would love to see cameras. I asked police if cameras are still an option. We do have cameras at some parks. I know we're talking about looking at getting some more. That kind of stuff costs money so we have to figure out what we can do to kind of do that. I also asked about the possibility of putting cameras on the streets for those who get graffiti in their neighborhoods. A lot of what we rely on in those situations are doorbell cameras or home security systems. We're big proponents of you know telling people that's a great tool for them. In the meantime Liliana Cortez is hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. I feel more safer now that it's stopped but I feel like it will eventually come back and that's not what I'm looking forward to. Now the police department told me curfew for juveniles will be between midnight and 6 a.m. If anyone's caught they will be given a citation and a parent will need to come pick them up.
