BRANSON POLICE
DEPARTMENT
PRESS RELEASE
On Friday evening,
the Branson Police Department conducted random compliance checks of
restaurants and bars serving alcohol, to determine if bartenders and
wait staff are verifying that the purchaser is of legal age to buy alcohol.
Officers worked with the assistance of three minors to conduct spot
checks of thirty four businesses, finding that clerks in twenty four
of the businesses checked identification or accurately enforced the
Missouri age restriction of being at least 21 years old to purchase
alcohol. The minors working with officers were able to purchase
alcohol in ten of the thirty four locations. (Attached is a log
sheet showing those establishments checked and the results from each.)
Citations for
the sale of intoxicants to a minor were issued to those clerks violating
the liquor code.
Compliance checks
will continue as we work toward obtaining total compliance with liquor
laws. While not every establishment selling alcohol will be checked
each time the program is conducted, all may expect to be checked at
any given time as we continue to work toward this goal.
