“Here’s Looking at You Kid,” a new campaign that targets alcohol sales to minors in Brea and Yorba Linda, appears to be working, according to a Brea Police Department spokesman.
A recent undercover operation found that 16% of businesses selected at random sold alcoholic beverages to people under the legal drinking age of 21. This compares favorably to 1994, when 53% of the selected businesses were cited for illegal alcohol sales.
Local merchants can participate in the “Here’s Looking at You” campaign by contacting Brea police for posters, decals and other materials.
