Carson City Sheriff's Office to conduct alcohol compliance checks over Nevada Day weekend
Over Nevada Day weekend the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, in cooperation with Partnership Carson City, will be conducting alcohol compliance checks.
Minors used as decoys will be sent into local businesses in Carson City who have liquor licenses. The minors will attempt to purchase alcohol, using their real identification, said CCSO Deputy Jarrod Adams.
The Carson City Sheriff's Office will be focusing on businesses checking identification properly, and denying the sale of alcohol to minors.
A common mistake is not calculating the age correctly when checking identifications. CCSO advises establishments to remember that as they serve or sell alcohol, the person getting the alcohol must be born on or before the day of the purchase in 1997, making them 21 years old. Those selling alcohol should not to accept expired forms of identification.
CCSO's goal is to have 100 percent compliance and have no alcohol be sold to the minors.
"We want our town’s youth to have a safe and sober Nevada Day," said Deputy Adams. "These checks are designed to help keep our kids safe and businesses in compliance with county and state laws."
