KCK Cop Tops In DUI Enforcement


KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) – People who drink and drive in Kansas City, Kan., don’t care much for Kenneth Garrett.

The police officer has earned a reputation as a tough enforcer of drunken driving laws.

Garrett made more than 400 arrests for DUI last year. In his 20-year career, he’s taken an estimated 10,000 impaired drivers to jail.

State statistics say no other officer in Kansas comes close to those numbers.

And a spokeswoman for MADD says Garrett is easily one of the top DUI enforcers in the country.

Garrett says he uses different methods to catch drunken drivers. He says he looks for drivers who are weaving, making wide turns, straddling lane dividers or driving at night without headlights.
