<br />A LCOHOL AND TOBACCO COMPLIANCE <br /> <br /> <br />Officers Langreck and Corlew conducted one alcohol compliance check this year of all <br />licensed alcohol establishments in Centerville, Circle Pines and Lexington. All the <br />businesses passed the compliance check by checking identification prior to the sale of <br />alcohol. Officers have observed an increased number of alcohol providers checking <br />identification over the last few years. The department commends the businesses who <br />take the extra step to insure the safety of the juveniles in our communities. <br /> <br />This year the department worked with the Department of Public Safety, Alcohol and <br />Gambling Division. The department received grant money to fund the compliance <br />checks, which are completed on an annual basis. The department also hosted an <br />"Alcohol Server Training" which was taught by an Alcohol and Gambling agent. The <br />Centennial Lakes Police Department will continue to host the Alcohol Server Training <br />on a semi-annual basis as long as the Department of Public Safety offers the training. <br /> <br />Officers also completed two tobacco compliance checks of all licensed tobacco <br />establishments in the three cities. Although an increase in identification checks prior to <br />the sale of tobacco has also been noticed, four businesses failed the tobacco compliance <br />checks in 2007. <br /> <br />We would like to thank all establishments for continuing to keep the youth of <br />Centerville, Circle Pines and Lexington safe and healthy by not selling alcohol or <br />tobacco to anyone under the legal age limit. <br /> <br />13 <br />
