The Emporia Police Department has gotten a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation to enforce underage drinking laws.
Over the next several months, off-duty Emporia police will work in plainclothes assignments watching for underage drinking. The officers will work different hours of the day and different days of the week to spot violations. The grant will pay for the officers’ overtime.
Special attention will be given to bars, clubs, liquor stores, convenience stores, grocery stores and private parties.
