On the evening of Friday, June 7th, agents from the Department of Consumer Protection’s Division of Liquor Control and the Resident Trooper’s Office of East Haddam conducted compliance checks of package stores, grocery stores, and restaurants in East Haddam and Moodus.
This followed a series of TIPS (Training for Intervention Procedures) training sessions offered to local businesses that either sell or serve alcohol by East Haddam Youth & Family Services and the East Haddam Local Prevention Council.
Compliance checks are an effective means of reducing youth access to alcohol. Young people, under the age of 21, who had been trained and provided by the Governor’s Prevention Partnership, entered nine (9) locations in town and attempted to purchase alcohol as a minor.
East Haddam Youth & Family Services and the East Haddam Local Prevention Council would like to acknowledge those businesses in town that were found to be in compliance for enforcement of CT state liquor laws by not allowing the sale to minors.
The premises in compliance are:
- American Legion, Moodus
- Gelston House, East Haddam
- Hilltop BBQ & Steak House, Moodus
- Moodus Package Store, Moodus
- Sanibel Farms, East Haddam
- Two Doors Down, Moodus
We commend those businesses in our town that did not allow young people to purchase alcohol in their establishments and we thank them for helping to keep our kids safe, strong and substance-free.
