Time is of the essence for Mishawaka teens — especially in terms of curfews enforced by city police.

Stressing safety, Mishawaka Police Lt. Timothy Williams, D.A.R.E./Child Safety officer, issued a curfew update Friday for parents and teens.

“Officers are willing to work with parents to help their teenage children understand there is a curfew ordinance in the City of Mishawaka and that curfew will be enforced by our officers,” Williams said, via a news release.
