NORTH COAST, Calif. – In response to violent and destructive incidents this weekend in Sonoma County, the city of Santa Rosa and the town of Windsor enacted mandatory curfews that began Monday night and are to continue until later this week.
The city of Santa Rosa declared a local state of emergency due to the violence and vandalism, and City Manager Sean McGlynn, in consultation with Police Chief Rainer Navarro, has implemented a citywide curfew that officials said is meant to keep the community safe.
The curfew is from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily through 5 a.m. Thursday, June 4.
During those hours, residents must stay home. City officials said those exempt from the curfew are first responders, essential city service employees, individuals who are in the course of traveling directly to and from work or to obtain medical assistance, credentialed media and persons who are experiencing homelessness who remain sheltered in place in a single location.
In addition, the curfew permits medical facilities, pharmacies, cannabis dispensaries and gas stations to remain open to the public.
Windsor’s curfew is between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., and will last until Friday, June 5, at 5 a.m.
Windsor residents are required to stay home during curfew hours.
If you are not a Windsor resident, travel into the town is discouraged and enforcement action may be taken against you, officials said.
