Just bought this car and the emergency brake is totally loose. It engages a little when it's pulled back fully, but it won't pass the safety inspection. How do I tighten it?

The handbrake is self adjusting. Assuming the car has a pair of functioing rear brake calipers, keep pulling and releasing the hand brake will eventually tighten it up to allow parking brake.
I suspect something is not right with the hand brake on your car. When you pull the hand brake. The cable turns a screw on each rear caliper to advance the pads to squeeze the rear disc.

Remove the console, or alternatively look carefully in the brushes for the seatbelts...
Tighten these
