Preventing an ABC Violation

Food & Beverage Association Members and Associates,

Local law enforcement agencies are now regularly monitoring electronic sights for postings originating is Alcohol Licensed Businesses that show Illegal Activity!

Regular law enforcement agencies, including Police and Sheriff can only use this type of information as fact finding indicators illegal activity may be occurring---the actual occurrence needs to be witnessed by officers to press a violation.

But the ABC operates under a different set of rules---policing agencies are forwarding their findings to the ABC for Administrative action against Licensed Businesses.

We are providing you with this information to keep you updated and vigilant----prevention!

F&BA does provide ABC Approved Responsible Alcohol Beverage Service training at our training facility, your business and on line at our web site.
