Reno, NV – On Saturday, March 17, 2018, members of the Regional Street Enforcement Team conducted an Underage Alcohol Compliance check during the Leprechaun Crawl event. The operation was conducted in partnership with Join Together Northern Nevada (JTNN), a non-profit community organization.

During the operation, four volunteers, 18-20 years old, were used to check 25 businesses in the downtown Reno area. Of those 25 businesses checked, 2 businesses failed the compliance check and served alcohol to the volunteers. In each instance the volunteers provided their actual state issued identification, if they were asked for it, clearly identifying them as underage patrons.
