UPDATE: Alameda County Sheriff Issues Curfew For Entire County; More Cities Issue Orders
SAN LEANDRO (CBS SF) -- Following a weekend of protests, rioting and looting across the Bay Area and the country, Alameda County on Monday became the latest local government to issue a curfew for its residents.
Alameda County Sheriff Greg Ahern issued the curfew order for the entire county beginning Monday at 8:00 p.m. and lasting until 5 a.m. The curfew order requires all non-exempted persons in the County to remain indoors.
The move by Alameda County comes after the cities of Oakland, Orinda, Hayward and Union City Monday became the latest Bay Area cities to announce curfews due to the civil unrest and looting over the killing of a George Floyd by Minneapolis police last week.
"It looks like it's going to be a repeat of the last three nights," sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Ray Kelly said. "Early reports coming in are that there are going problems."

Livingston noted that some Contra Costa cities have implemented their own curfews and residents should check their city's website for updates.
Also on Monday, Walnut Creek, police moved up the time of the curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 p.m. San Leandro's curfew also starts at 6 p.m.; the earliest starting times in the Bay Area in the two cities in which looting was rampant.
Pleasant Hill moved up its curfew start time from 9:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., while the Town of Danville also moved up the start time of its curfew from 10 p.m. to 8 p.m.
