Sheriff‘s Department partner with Alcoholic Beverage Control to conduct minor decoy at liquor stores

EAST COUNTY–The San Diego County Sheriff‘s Department is partnering with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) through a countywide grant to help prevent underage drinking and other crimes that may occur at ABC licensed establishments. 

In July 2019, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department received an ABC grant of $100,000.  The money is being spent in the communities patrolled by the Sheriff’s Department to reduce alcohol related crimes and educate ABC licensed businesses. The goal of the ABC Alcohol Policing Partnership Program is to collaborate with local law enforcement agencies to help make communities safer. The cooperative efforts of the Sheriff’s Department and ABC are aimed at building positive working relationships between all stakeholders and increasing the safety of San Diego County. 

On October 24, deputies from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, along with agents from ABC, and three minor decoys conducted a Minor Decoy and Shoulder Tap Operation at various locations in the cities of Alpine, Lakeside, and unincorporated El Cajon. The minor decoy tested retailers at six locations, attempting to purchase alcoholic beverages inside their establishments. One location sold alcohol to the decoy.  

The Shoulder Tap operation was conducted in front of  local retail liquor stores where a teenager asked adults to purchase the teen alcohol. Twenty-nine adults total were contacted, and four purchased alcohol for the minor. The adults who purchased alcohol for the teen were arrested for furnishing alcohol to a minor, which is a misdemeanor offense. ABC related operations such as Minor Decoy and Shoulder Tap help reduce alcohol abuse and youth access to alcohol.  Operations like these will continue through June 2020.  

Anyone with information on licensed liquor establishments providing alcohol to minors can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477, or by calling the Sheriff’s Department’s non-emergency line at (858) 565-5200.
