Not sure about extra patrols or anything, but RCPD received a grant in the past year or so to crack down on underage drinking. Haven't really heard about many mip's being written, but I do know that a lot more parties than usual are getting broken up than normal this time of year.
I'm in a fraternity and this is getting completely ridiculous, any party they see gets broken up, and yes there is a definite focus on the greek houses which they make nightly rounds at.
To run you through our years events so far, all was well until girls finished sorority recruitment, that night I attend two different fraternity parties both of which got broken up at about midnight. On to Sunday, I attended a smaller gathering due to class starting the next day which also got broken up this time just after midnight. On next to Wednesday night of that week in which the party was broken up yet again, this time before 11:30.
Then Thursday night happened, I really don't want to get into details, but 20+ MIPs were handed out at the party (most are looking to be thrown out currently), also a hosting ticket and 3 were taken to jail for BS "obstruction of justice." There were multiple other parties that weekend that I know of that had MIPs handed out, though not to the same extent. Following this we have done very little on the weekends and are trying to lay low for awhile, meanwhile some "wet" houses have temporarily become "dry" as to avoid more hosting and MIP tickets.
Coming to this weekend, I was at that concert (call me a douchebag if that satisfies your inner needs) and the cops went on a power trip, knowing that the concert had a noise permit til 10:45 they decided since they had gotten 2 calls about the noise that they could revoke the permit...this was told to the performer on stage therefore causing him to say "F*** the police" which sprung the cops into action, rushing up on to stage and pulling off the performer and the rest of his crew and booking him on "inciting a riot."
The only silver-lining so far is they don't seem to be doing it at the football games.
I have no idea what threat fraternity guys here are...probably should go to KU where "
