**Violations of RCW 69, 69A or 70**** **–** **Criminal conduct of owner,             employees and/or patrons

## Statistics Show 

- Statistics Show

- 	The most common violations and complaints involve:
- Sales of liquor to apparently intoxicated persons
- Sales of liquor to persons under 21 years of age

## Violations of Public Safety 

- Violations of Public Safety

- If you violate public safety laws or rules, administrative action may be taken against your liquor license. Administrative action could result in a monetary penalty, suspension, or cancellation of your liquor license privileges.
- BE SAFE.  Please make sure that your staff is trained in liquor laws and company policy.

## New Licensee Program

- WSLCB officers will visit  your premises to:
- Check your required signs
- Answer any questions
- Provide materials
- Review operations, especially those involving public safety

- The WSLCB developed this program to provide technical assistance shortly after you receive your new license.

## Over Service

-  In possession of alcohol
-  Being sold or given alcohol by your  employees
-  Consuming alcohol

***Over service *****(OS) is the term used when patrons are showing apparent signs of ****intoxication **_**and**_** any of the following:**

## What to do?

-    If a person is showing signs of intoxication how do you and your employees respond?
-    Your company policy needs to be clear and concise on how to handle the situation.
-    Under Washington State law you must remove the alcohol from the patron and refuse further service of alcohol.

## Once The Patron is Cut Off,           What’s Next?

-   Your company policy should tell your employees what to do.
- Who should remove the alcohol from the patron?
- How do you cut someone off of service?
- Does the patron get their money back?
- Should the person stay in your premises?
- Who is responsible to get them home safely?

## DUI Statistics

- Every person that is arrested in the State of Washington for DUI is asked to blow into a breathalyzer machine.
- When a person takes the breath test they are asked where they consumed their last drink.

## DUI Statistics

- The police officer puts a code into the breathalyzer that identifies the location.
- Information from the breathalyzer is collected by the Washington State Patrol and forwarded to the WSLCB.

## DUI Statistics

- No violations are generated off the DUI statistics alone.
- The information generated by the breath tests is for informational purposes only.
- The WSLCB considers the statistics as indicators that there might be adjustments that could be made to eliminate potential problems.

   Studies show approximately 50% of intoxicated drivers come from licensed establishments.

## Company Policy on Age Verification:

- Your company policy will dictate the success of your business.
- Your company policy should direct your employees how and when to verify age.
- The only sensible way to identify minors is to check ID of youthful appearing people each and every time.

## Checking ID

- To verify a person’s age, your company policy should direct your employees to check ID.
*    **You should be very strict on this policy!*
- When company policy directs an employee to check ID, only state approved ID’s are acceptable.

## Checking ID

-          These are the only state approved acceptable ID’s. You may restrict this list, but may not accept additional forms of ID.
- Drivers License, ID card, or Instruction Permit issued by any state or Canadian Province
- Valid Washington Temporary Driver’s License
- US Military ID
- Merchant Marine ID
- Official Passport of any nation
- Washington State Tribal Enrollment Card

## Requirements for All ID’s

- Photo of person
- Date of birth (DOB)
- Signature of person (exception: Military ID)
- Expiration date Documents are not required to have an expiration date; if the identification does have an expiration date it must not be expired.

- _[RCW 66.16.040](file:///RCW/RCW%2066.16.040.doc)_

## How to Check ID

- Now that your company policy has directed your employee to check ID, what is next?
- Your employees need to know how to check ID’s properly. Most violations of underage laws occur by misreading ID’s.
- Remember that purchasing alcohol is a privilege, not a right. The difference is, patrons have to prove their age to your employees before they can buy, if asked to do so.

## Proper ID Checking

- What does your company policy say about the proper way to check an ID?
- What is the best way to check an ID?
- To check an ID properly employees must use the features of the ID.

## Licensee Certification Cards

-      A licensee certification card is a voluntary tool that is available for your business. If a customer comes into the premises and presents an acceptable ID, showing them to be over 21, but you have doubts, a certification card can be used.
- You can get the cards at local liquor stores or agencies – free.
- When correctly completed, they provide legal protection from criminal and administrative liability for the seller and licensee.
- If you fill one out, file it alphabetically, and keep it on your premises for inspection by any requesting law enforcement officer.
