MB, HB and RB receive grant to keep alcohol from kids
Here's some interesting numbers:
Manhattan Beach has 125 bars, restaurants and retail stores which are
licensed to sell
alcohol; Hermosa Beach has 98 and Redondo Beach has
206. That's a lot of booze.
So, the Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach police departments have received an $85,000 state grant to keep alcohol out of the hands of minors.
The grant from the state Alcoholic Beverage Control office will allow officers to train licensed establishments, train patrol officers, and conduct inspections and sting operations to determine if licensed establishments are abiding by state laws.
During the last year, Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach police conducted 13 sting operations. They checked 258 businesses. Of those, 24 sold alcohol to minors. Forty people received citations.
Here's a video of police in San Mateo conducting one of these sting operations:
