(KNOX) -The Grand Forks Police Department conducted alcohol compliance checks with the assistance of area youths on July 22. A total of 21 businesses were checked.

Out of the 21 checked, 20 businesses passed and 1 failed. Grand Forks Police Department conducts several compliance checks each year.

The Grand Forks Police Department uses youth from the community who are under 21 years of age. The compliance checks are conducted by having a youth enters a business that sells alcohol establishment, under the supervision of a police officer.

The underage youth will attempt to purchase alcohol and will in no way attempt to conceal their age.They provide their actual ID and if asked they say their actual age. If a sale is refused, the business “passes” the check. If a sale is completed, it is observed by the officer, and appropriate enforcement action is taken.
