For the first time since Batavia Police started conducting regular compliance checks of local liquor stores, to see if stores would make alcohol sales to minors, the stores in the city were in 100-percent compliance with the law, according to Det. Richard Schauf.
He said that even though store owners were given a warning through media reports, in the past, when warnings were also given, compliance was less than 100 percent.
The compliance check is funded by a GCASA grant and involves potential underage alcohol buyers entering liquor stores and attempting to make a purchase.
Liquor store staff is required to do an ID check on buyers and in the past, such checks did not happen with each and every attempted purchase.
"These results verify that compliance checks have raised the awareness of the community and its commitment to keeping our community safe," Schauf said.
Such a waste of time and
Such a waste of time and money.
I mean good yay they aren't
I mean good yay they aren't selling to under aged but how easy is it for underage people to get it anyway? I agree with Rachael.
