Pursuant to K.S.A. 60-4127 all Kansas law enforcement agencies are required to report asset seizure and forfeiture information to the Kansas Asset Seizure and Forfeiture Repository. This information is reported to the Kansas Legislature in an annual report. Attached is the Kansas 2019 Civil Asset Forfeiture Report.
On November 20, 2019, the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission (KRGC), with assistance from the Lansing Police Department and the Leavenworth Police Department, served four search warrants at four different businesses in Leavenworth County. The result of the search warrants was the seizure of eight illegal gaming machines, along with the monies associated with the illegal gambling operation. The warrants were the result of complaints received from citizens, and an investigation by agents of the KRGC. In Kansas, there are only four forms of legal gambling:
• Bingo and charitable raffles conducted by charitable organizations, nonprofit religious organizations, fraternal and veterans organizations
• Horse and dog racing, para mutual wagering at State licensed tracks
• State owned casinos and lottery
• Legally approved tribal casinos.
