Over the past 12 years, the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) program has successfully built partnerships with law enforcement, community organizations, and government officials to implement evidence-based strategies to reduce youth access to alcohol. To establish and maintain a grasp on the problems and consequences of underage drinking, a blueprint must be developed to integrate three key elements: environmental strategies and laws, enforcement, and public support.
Who Should Attend
State Coordinators, enforcement officers, executives, military personnel, judges, prosecutors, probation officials, youth, government officials, staff members of community-based organizations and other individuals concerned with underage drinking are encouraged to attend.

Compliance Checks
Compliance checks are one of the proven law enforcement best practice
strategies used to address the issue of retail availability of alcohol
to underage youth. This session will provide attendees with an
opportunity to watch law enforcement from the local area and underage
buyers execute compliance check operations that will test alcohol
licensees. Attendees will learn how important effective planning,
preparation and collaboration is to the compliance check process as
they will witness covert underage buyers attempt to purchase alcoholic
beverages from licensed alcohol establishments in the Anaheim area.
Controlled Party Dispersal
Underage drinking parties remain a large problem for police. Preventing
through information gathering and deterrence or successfully dispersing
an underage drinking party helps ensure the safety of our young people
in our community. Our faculty will address the essential elements of
party containment, offender processing, and a controlled party
dispersal once a party is underway. Participants will learn hands on
techniques to safely disperse an underage drinking party and receive
important suggestions from an experienced staff of law enforcement
Instructors.
Shoulder Tap
The shoulder tap program is an effective tool used by law enforcement
agencies to detect and deter youth access to alcohol. This session will
provide attendees with an opportunity to watch law enforcement and
underage buyers attempt to solicit adults outside licensed outlets to
buy alcohol. Attendees will learn and observe how California ABC leads
shoulder tap operations in communities across California and how this
can be an effective enforcement operation to reduce underage
consumption of, and access to, alcohol.
