100% compliance during grant cycle
The Riverside Police Department completed their second compliance checks at local
retailers to ensure that they are complying with State laws and local ordinances regarding
the sale of tobacco products to minors. The 7-11, Marathon and Amstar gas stations
were all visited by Officer Brian Greenenwald and a cooperating minor on February 10 th
and we are happy to report that none of the retailers sold tobacco products to minors.
This grant-funded program is in place to make sure that our retailers continue doing the
right thing and preventing underage tobacco use. I am happy to report that our retailers
have continued in this grant cycle with 100% compliance, said Officer Brian
Greenenwald.
This program begins with retailer education in which retailers are provided training
materials and store signage regarding tobacco purchasing laws. Following that education,
3 surprises compliance checks are completed to make sure that retailers are following the
applicable ordinances and laws.
