Northeast News

If you noticed an uptick in KCPD vehicles and officers along Independence Avenue on a recent Friday afternoon, you weren’t imagining things. The Northeast News was invited to ride along with members of East Patrol’s Targeted Policing Squad who teamed up with PD’s Vice Unit for a prostitution sting along the Avenue. The decoy operation resulted in over a dozen prostitution related arrests along with two felony arrests for drugs and one arrest of a parole absconder.
