The Placer County Sheriff's Office is stepping up enforcement against underage drinking during New Year's Eve. Deputies will conduct both undercover and visible patrols to prevent DUIs and illegal alcohol sales, as reported by the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.
The operation targets selling or furnishing alcohol to minors and serving intoxicated patrons. It also aims to remind the community that providing alcohol to underaged individuals is both illegal and dangerous, as stated by the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the Placer County Sheriff’s Office on their Facebook page, the department is working with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control on the Minor Decoy/Shoulder Tap Grant Project. This program, part of the California Office of Traffic Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, aims to prevent underage drinking and keep roads safer. The sheriff’s office reminds the public that giving, serving, or selling alcohol to anyone under 21 is illegal and can result in serious penalties.
