Snellville's Alcohol Compliance Rate is at 80%!

The Gwinnett County Police Department detectives visited 10 alcohol retailers in the unincorporated area of Snellville between October 1 and December 31, 2015. Two out of the 10 stores sold alcohol to an underage decoy.

Compliance checks are important because they validate that employees are checking IDs to prevent alcohol sales to those under 21 years of age. The employees who sell alcohol to underage decoys are given two citations, one for not properly checking an ID and the second for selling alcohol to a minor. The fine per citation is $300 in order to make the employee aware of what he or she needs to focus on while also highlighting to the manager that his or her employees may need further training to ensure that they are following the laws and ordinances appropriately.

We are excited to highlight the following retailers who did not sell alcohol to an underage decoy. Your diligence in checking IDs ensures that our community stays safer and healthier.
