Get Involved: Cops in Shops
What young people won't know is when – it could be any time, at any place
We encourage you to join the hundreds of police departments in 48 states around the country (from Santa Ana, California to New Bedford, Massachusetts) who have implemented Cops in Shops®. A number of states use this program concept as their primary statewide enforcement tool to reduce underage purchase of alcoholic beverages. Additionally, college and university police departments have found the Cops in Shops® program to be an effective tool in their fight to stop underage drinking on campus.
How do you get started?
Departments considering including Cops in Shops® in their enforcement strategies can contact Ron Engle, Director, Traffic Safety, at (202) 637-0077 to obtain program implementation, training and public awareness materials. Cops in Shops® is an enforcement program and intended only for use by public safety organizations in partnership with retailers.
