Sgt Trent McKinley says the effort targets risky behavior not limited to students and aims to reduce downtown disorder seen on busy Thursday and Friday nights. In a recent April weekend police arrested dozens for alcohol related offenses including 29 drunken driving and six open container violations. The department has not released total counts.
