Law enforcement officers make unannounced visits to on-sale retail establishments such as bars and restaurants to monitor and look for alcohol violations, often checking IDs of patrons inside the establishments to identify underage individuals, looking for over-intoxication, and any other alcohol violations.
When should I consider implementing this strategy?
- Youth are purchasing alcohol by using fake IDs.
- Retail staff are not carding.
- Youth are in bars or other on-sale retail establishments illegally.
How do I implement this strategy?
