Testimonials

Because of the CCPA, we have been able to provide special event kits at local events where alcohol is served. The kits, which include signage, wristbands, an ID scanner, and more, have proven to be effective tools in reducing the attempts by minors to be served alcohol.

Karen Rimmer - City Clerk, Douglas, Wyoming
The CCPA works with the Douglas Police Department in our underage drinking enforcement efforts, providing funding for the department to conduct alcohol compliance checks with local retailers to assure their employees are checking ID’s and diligently refusing to serve underage individuals. They also provides information and training for officers relating to underage drinking, along with information about the latest statistics and trends in tobacco and e-cigarette use by teens.
