INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – It started as a conversation about curfew, but it ended in a conversation about much more.

A meeting about a proposal that would amend the current curfew law in Indianapolis was packed Tuesday evening.

The proposal would move curfew for those 15-17 years old, to 11 PM every night of the week. Right now, it’s 1 a.m. on weekends.

Quickly though, those who attended the meeting found it wasn’t just curfew, the police chief wanted to talk about.

“This isn’t about curfew. We duped you to get you here,” Chief Rick Hite said. “What we brought you here to talk about… is what are we going to do with our young people, as we go forward? Because we’re not going to have another summer like we had last year.”
