9 Business Fail Alcohol Compliance Checks In Great Falls

The Great Falls Police Department conducted compliance checks on 38 alcohol-selling businesses within its jurisdiction.

These checks ensure compliance with alcohol sale regulations, specifically preventing sales to those under 21.

Supported by STOP Act funds from the Alliance for Youth Substance Abuse Prevention, these checks involve local volunteers aged 19-20, possessing valid IDs, whose cooperation underscores a community-wide commitment.

Emphasizing a zero-tolerance approach, Great Falls prioritizes youth safety.

Montana's mandatory alcohol server training has notably reduced underage alcohol sales.

Among the 38 businesses checked, 76% passed this recent compliance check, a slight dip from the 83% success rate in 2022.

Successful establishments and employees deserve recognition for diligent prevention of underage sales.

However, isolated violations occurred, resulting in citations under MCA 16-3-301 for those who sold to underage buyers.
