On Friday, March 29th, members of the Olathe Police Department's School Resource Officer Unit conducted alcohol compliance checks throughout the city of Olathe.

The checks focused on businesses that sell alcohol. The purpose of the operation was to insure that these businesses are checking customer's identification and not selling alcohol to under-aged individuals.

Officers checked 59 businesses, 54 of which complied by asking for identification. The five businesses that did not comply were cited for Furnishing Alcohol to a Minor and given municipal court dates.

Olathe Police Chief Steven Menke says "This is just a part of the police department's continuing effort to prevent under-aged drinking and insure that businesses that sell alcohol are doing their part to keep our community safe."

A statement release about the checks says that while the high number of compliant businesses is encouraging, it is the continued goal of the Olathe Police Department to attain 100% compliance throughout the city. Police will continue to routinely conduct compliance checks throughout the upcoming year.

Olathe Police also conducted a DUI check lane March 29th. Results of that check lane can be found here.

District Attorney warns of door-to-door salesmen

Posted: March 28, 2012 - 3:47pm
Updated: March 29, 2012 - 1:07pm

Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe is reminding residents to exercise caution when encountering individuals soliciting sales or donations door-to-door. This week Police in Leawood and Overland Park received complaints regarding door-to-door magazine salesman with an out of state company.

The District Attorney's Office says that transient merchants are often required to obtain a special license to conduct business in Johnson County. They are also required to provide a three-day right to cancel any sale made to a resident at their home. Often, these businesses conduct sales in Kansas for a short period of time and then leave the area, making cancellation or resolution of complaints difficult. In some cases, citizens pay for magazines or other merchandise and never receive the product.

Your local city office can assist residents who would like to post a 'No Solicitation' sign at their home. Door-to-door salesmen are not allowed to knock on doors where there is a no solicitation sign posted.

If you or someone you know has purchased magazines or donated money to a door-to-door salesman affiliated with Allied Group, Allied Magazine Sales, Absolute Marketing or Marquis Fulfillment Agency within the last two weeks, you are asked to contact the Johnson County District Attorney's Consumer Hotline at 913-715-3003.
