KEEPING IT SAFE
Join the Business Alliance!
The Montgomery County Business Alliance is a public collaboration developed with an understanding that community business participation in solving alcohol related issues is not just an advantage but an essential element to achieving sustainability. Business Alliances meet regularly to arrange Cops in Shops® programs and Alcohol Trainings. Everyone is welcome and participation is free.
Designed to help business owners who are having issues with public drunkenness in and around their business, Cops in Shops® is a program where Police and alcohol inspectors posing as store employees, work inside establishments to assist business owners in preventing the sale of alcohol to intoxicated individuals and youth under the age of 21. Citizens trained by police, called “Extra Eyes,” work outside the businesses. Armed with police radios, they report violations occurring in parking lots or surrounding areas.
Additional resources such as reduced cost, server trainings in Spanish and free alcohol law seminars will be available to any business with an alcohol license in downtown Wheaton, Long Branch Silver Spring and the cross roads of Randolph and Viers Mill Rd. in Rockville.
