Underage Drinking Training for Retailers

Bixby Police Department
Retailer Training


DATE: Friday November 2, 2007 from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

LOCATION: Bixby Community Center (Lunch will be provided)

The Bixby Police Department in coordination with 2Much2Lose and the Bixby Chamber of Commerce is offering retailer training for businesses that sell alcohol and low-point beer.

2 Much 2 Lose is a statewide under 21 drinking prevention initiative aimed at reducing underage access to alcohol. To teach servers and retail sales clerks about their legal responsibility and the liability of serving persons under the age of 21. This is done through training programs, which are targeted at those who serve or sell alcohol in any form.

This program is designed to:

• Train employees to spot fake ID's.
• Train employees on how to read ID’s.
• Provide practical tips on how to deal with customers.
• Know how and when to decline the sale of alcohol to intoxicated customers.
• Educate alcoholic beverage servers and retailers about their legal responsibilities and liabilities.
• Help reduce the number of drunk driving accidents and deaths, especially among those under 21.

The Bixby Police Department is committed to the underage drinking initiative and wishes to work with local businesses to make sure that they have all of the information that they need to succeed in assisting us in this mission.

Help us make a difference!
