Idaho Police Use Planes to Locate 'Keggers'

Boise police coordinated a multi law enforcement agency "kegger patrol" Saturday night where officers broke up about half a dozen parties in the desert and gave out 67 tickets for consumption of alcohol by minors. Boise police have been coordinating the multi-agency "kegger patrol" for graduation weekend for the past three years but this was the first time they were able to use the Civil Air Patrol to help out, Officer Jermain Galloway said Monday. Officers busted keg parties in the Swan Falls area south of Boise and in the Foothills near Idaho City and Arrowrock Reservoir area east of Idaho 21, Galloway said. Boise police coordinated it and partnered with the Ada and Boise county sheriff's offices, Idaho State Police, the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, The Boise City Attorney's office, Ada County Juvenile Probation, and Civil Air Patrol. Galloway said he got the idea to see if the Civil Air Patrol, the volunteer Auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, would be available to help and began talking with the BLM about it a month ago...more

Nice to see the BLM & FS law enforcement folks, who are supposedly so undermanned and underfunded, are staying busy handing out tickets while on "kegger patrol".

Their new logo should be a picture of Smokey Bear with his foot on the neck of a teenager and high school diplomas scattered around on the ground.
