RESUME OF INCIDENT:
EL CAJON – Throughout the months of February and March of
this year, the El Cajon Police Department has been
conducting special operations targeting alcohol violations
involving minors. The department’s Special Operations Unit
has conducted several undercover details such as ‘Shoulder
Taps’ and Decoy Stings. A ‘Shoulder Tap’ operation
involves the use of underage minors asking patrons to buy
them alcoholic beverages. In a Decoy Sting, the underage
minor attempts to buy alcoholic beverages from a business.
Violators are arrested and most often receive citations for
the offenses.
During this two month period, officers visited 49
businesses throughout the city. All were licensed through
the State for alcohol sales. Twelve arrests were made for
furnishing alcohol to a minor and one minor was arrested
for attempting to buy alcohol. Three juveniles were
arrested for possession of alcohol. These operations are
successful in educating local businesses as well as members
of the community about issues involving alcohol sales and
minors. This operation was funded by a grant from the
California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control’s Grant
Assistance Program.
