August's liquor compliance check is perfect

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Police sent an underage buyer into 24 off-sale businesses yesterday and every one passed the compliance check.

Captain Greg Vandekamp says the checks are held regularly.

He says police randomly select about two dozen off-sale businesses a month.  He says in the past, the infrequent checks resulted in terrible complaince from Sioux Falls businesses.  The once-a-month checks are proving more effective.               

Clerks selling to underage buyers get an automatic court date and the owner’s license can be at risk for renewal.
