The Worcester Police department will conduct numerous programs over the next year in an effort to prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors and the purchase and consumption of alcoholic beverages to minors. 

The Alcohol Enforcement Unit will also target establishments that over serve patrons.

According to the Center for Disease Control, underage drinking is responsible for more than 4,300 annual deaths among underage youth. 

The Programs 

Throughout the year, members of the Worcester Police Alcohol Enforcement Unit will conduct underage alcohol compliance stings and surveillance activities. 

The goal is to use enforcement practices that will help to prevent access to alcohol by minors and to ensure that alcohol establishments are following the laws, regulations, and procedures when it comes to serving age appropriate customers.
