Emporia Police officers are encouraged by one trend that showed itself for New Year’s Eve.
Sgt. Dominick Vortherms says there was a notable increase in the use of designated drivers.
Emporia Police had no DUI-related arrests, although it had several fireworks complaints between midnight and 12:30 am. Lyon County deputies made two arrests for DUI-related activities early Wednesday morning.
Official stats for area county involvement in the New Year’s Taking Down DUI campaign, which ends Thursday, may not be released until next week.
