The Carrboro Police Department assigns officers to focus on underage drinking in our community. We conduct operations designed to reduce underage consumption and decrease the opportunity for businesses to sell alcohol to underage buyers. We have also increased counterfeit ID enforcement with the use of the Intellicheck App. The Carrboro Police Department is dedicated in its efforts to make our community safe by partnering with the Coalition and the Orange County ABC Board. To continue our efforts we are asking funding to help us in these endeavors. I. Overtime allotment for Special Alcohol Operations $25,000.00 Carrboro Police Officers continue to serve on the Alcohol Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT). These officers have received specialized training in legal issues and tactics used to enforce underage drinking laws. Over the past year, officers have participated in ALERT operations to include plain clothes underage enforcement, Sell to Underage Campaign and DWI Saturation Patrols. We will continue with alcohol compliance checks in the upcoming months. We propose two to three operations per month consisting of 2-4 officers. ll. Equipment and Software $1,000.00 In an effort to enhance and properly document ALERT operations, we would like to fund the purchase of equipment that would allow us to function more efficiently. Equipment would consist of miniature cameras, which are easily hidden on the body to document violations during ALERT Operations. Such documentation will strengthen cases brought before the court and provide feedback on how to improve operations. This equipment will be shared with all ALERT team members. We would also like to maintain three licenses for the Intellicheck App. The Intellicheck App allows officers to scan the QR codes on the back of IDs to determine if they are counterfeit. The cost of the three licenses is approximately $600 per year.
