There's a new way to keep criminals off Manhattan streets — enforcing their curfews. Patrol cops have been told to be on the lookout for young offenders who are out past their court-mandated bedtimes and to tip off prosecutors when they catch them. Several suspects who flouted the rules have already been tossed back in jail since the Manhattan district attorney’s office began coordinating with the NYPD. “We weren’t using curfew as effectively as we could,” David O’Keefe, head of the DA’s Crime Strategies Unit, told the Daily News. “We’re being more organized about it.
