The Scott County Sheriff’s Office is collaborating with local retailers and organizations that sell alcoholic beverages to ensure the safety of our citizens and communities by offering free Alcohol Awareness/Compliance Server Training.  This training is designed to prevent intoxication, drunk driving, and underage drinking by giving individuals the knowledge and confidence they need to recognize potential alcohol-related problems and intervene to prevent alcohol-related tragedies.

The Sheriff’s Office encourages businesses that sell alcoholic beverages on-sale, off-sale or both, have their staff participate in this training.

This training includes educating staff members on the following:

• Specific laws that regulate selling or serving to minors and intoxicated people
• The effects of alcohol on customers
• The correct way to check IDs and prevent the sale of alcohol to minors or individuals with expired identification or alcohol restrictions
• How and why to refuse the sale of alcohol in specific situations
• How to protect themselves and their employer from liability  

This training will be held virtually using the ZOOM application.  Those that register will receive an invite via email between 7/29/2020 and 8/6/2020 from the training organizer that will provide the details on how to join the ZOOM meeting/training.

To register to attend this free training, complete this ONLINE FORM.
