Fireworks complaints to the Salina Police Department this year were slightly more than 100.
Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that between June 26 and Friday morning, 101 fireworks calls were received.
Officers responding to the calls did a great deal of educating the public about the city's fireworks laws, however, no citations were issued, he said. Additionally, officers did not return to the same location twice. If they had done so, a citation would have been issued, Forrester said.
It is difficult for officers to issue citations because, in many cases, those illegally shooting the fireworks have disappeared by the time officers arrive, he added.
