On-Premise Enforcement and Retailer Training Opportunities
When people think of underage alcohol problems they often think about the role of the licensed retailer and most frequently the convenience store or liquor store. The on-premise retail licensees make up nearly half of all the licensed businesses throughout the country. Depending on the laws of each jurisdiction people under the age of 21 may be lawfully allowed inside these businesses to socialize, but not consume alcohol. Retailer promotions and popular music make the on premise licensee a popular destination for those under the age of 21.
How does law enforcement police the on-premise licensee? What role does the licensee assume in responsibility for underage alcohol problems in a community? What initiatives are available to the on-premise retailer to assist them in responsible sales, service and safety to their customers and the community? Our panel will discuss the role of the retailer in this process, what tools are being used by law enforcement to improve safety and what makes up a retailer training program that can demonstrate measurable success. Listeners will gain information on innovative law enforcement strategies in the community and hear how one community created a very successful training program for retailers.
