Bielat Santore & Company - Eye on the Shore
Allenhurst, NJ (PRWEB) July 07, 2014 -- Jersey Shore police officers are taking action launching the “Cops in Shops” program created to prevent alcohol consumption of minors. Introduced June 27th, 2014, undercover policemen are staking out bars, restaurants and liquor stores to catch underage drinkers in the act. The program was implemented to ensure less alcohol-related deaths and keep alcohol out of the hands of those under 21 years of age.
Under the program, law enforcement officials pose as store employees or stand outside the retailer and arrest those buying alcohol for minors. Businesses are also increasing their security and paying close attention when checking identification. Those with false identification will be immediately reported to the police.
The “Cops in Shops” program was designed by the Foundation for the Advancement of Alcohol Responsibility (FAAR). The Division adopted the program from FAAR in 1996 and has since been recognized nationally as a successful program.
This summer, 35 Jersey Shore police departments are participating in “Cops in Shops.” There is also a “Cops in Shops” College-Fall and Year-Round Initiatives grant available to police departments near a college or university in an effort to minimize underage drinking.
