12/20/99 Interoffice Memo <br /> high school and a DARE Officer for the elementary grades. <br /> They deal extensively in substance abuse reduction on their <br /> own and in cooperation with the school district. <br /> Just May 4th Roseville Police and Fire and the High School <br /> presented a dramatized drunk driving crash and arrest for <br /> ALL the juniors and seniors at the RAHS parking lot. It was <br /> an event just prior to Prom and included classroom <br /> discussion about underage drinking and alcohol abuse. <br /> SAFE AND SOBER <br /> Roseville Police was one of the first departments in the state <br /> to participate in Safe and Sober grants which paid for <br /> overtime for officers to focus on arresting drunk drivers. We <br /> did not break down the ages, but common knowledge <br /> indicates a number of our arrests were underage drinkers. <br /> We are starting to participate in the Safe and Sober <br /> Challenge. A national program focusing on reduction of <br /> drinking and driving. <br /> In conclusion, I would like to mention selling or giving alcoholic <br /> beverages to underage persons has always been against the law. <br /> What we have tried to do is give a break to establishments who <br /> are honestly trying to comply with state law. The license holders <br /> are responsible for their employees and the operation of their <br /> businesses. <br /> 3 <br />
