"It's really difficult to determine the success of the program by counting the number of arrests," said Lawrence police Sgt. Richard Nickell. "To truly be successful is to keep underage people from trying to purchase alcohol." Cops in Shops started in 1996. Undercover police pretend to be liquor store employees in an attempt to stop minors from buying alcohol, said April Marvin, state director of the Drunk Driving Prevention Project. Lawrence police increase the number of officers in liquor stores every fall when students return to Lawrence. The program was responsible for 26 arrests last fall, police said. While the police consider those arrests to indicate a success last year, Nickell said that the opposite may be true this year. "It could be said that the program is working if no underage person is arrested," he said. "Another way to look at it is that there's only one person not deterred." While some liquor store owners said they thought the number of minors trying to purchase alcohol had decreased, some disagreed. John Webb, owner of Webb's Spirit Wine and Beer, 800 W. 23rd St., said that the only way to curb underage drinking was to legislate the reduction of advertising by alcohol companies targeting minors. Jeff Krug, manager of Cork and Barrel Wine and Spirits, 2000 W. 23rd St., said that the number of minors who tried to buy alcohol from his store had remained consistent. He said that there have been no police in the store yet but that the Alcohol Beverage Control has arrested several underage buyers. The year-round program is a cooperative effort between the police, the Kansas Drunk Driving Prevention Project and Lawrence liquor stores.
