PLAIN CITY CURFEW LAWS
Now that school is out for summer break here is a quick reminder about Plain City’s curfew laws. Curfew is established for the safety and welfare of minors. Minors 15 years of age or younger, have a curfew of 9:00p.m.-5:00a.m. Minors 16-17 years of age have a curfew of 11:00p.m.-5:00a.m. When a Plain City Police Officer comes into contact with a minor after curfew, the officer, in most instances, will attempt to make contact with a parent/guardian to determine if there is an appropriate reason the minor is out past curfew. If a minor is violating the curfew restrictions, plans will be made with the parent/guardian for the safe return of the minor. If you observe what you believe to be minors out violating curfew, you are encouraged to call the Plain City Police Department dispatch line at 614-873-4321. If you have general questions regarding the curfew ordinance, feel free to call the office line at 614-873-2921.
Have a safe and enjoyable summer.

A Message from the Chief to the Citizens of Plain City:
Welcome to the Village of Plain City Police Department’s web-site. We appreciate your interest with our agency, and encourage you to visit here often for a variety of information that we hope you will find useful. Hopefully, this information will assist you in getting to know your police department better.
The Plain City Police Department strives to adhere to its Mission Statement. To make this possible it requires that the police department maintain the positive relationship that we have established with the community. It is my desire, as well as all of the officers of the police department, that this relationship continues to foster and grow as we move towards the future.
Our goal is to allow you and your family to live in a safe environment. A society free of crime, violence and accidental injury is not attainable; however, if both the community and the police work together to find ways to effectively promote safety and security, we can ensure that the quality of life we each desire can be attained. If you have any additional ideas or concerns, I encourage you to either e-mail me at jhill@plain-city.com, or call the police department at 614-873-2921.
