“We have seen too
many tragedies involving under-aged drinking, and we all must do our
part to prevent them,” Attorney General Bill Lockyer
Target Responsibility for Alcohol Connected Emergencies (TRACE) was
developed by a task force convened by Lockyer last year after he met
Lynne Goodwin and discussed the death of her 20-year-old daughter,
Casey.
Active in fighting under-aged drinking as a member of Friday Night Live,
Casey was killed in March 2003 by an18-year-old drunk driver.
The task force was charged with developing a protocol for officers
investigating alcohol-related incidents involving under-aged drinkers to
identify the source of the alcohol. Under the protocol, law enforcement
officers will immediately try to determine where the youths obtained or
consumed alcohol prior to the event and notify the
Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) if the alcohol was purchased or
consumed at an ABC-licensed business establishment. If the incident
involving under-aged drinkers results in death or injury, ABC will be
notified immediately to take the appropriate enforcement action.
“ABC
looks forward to working with its law enforcement partners to implement
TRACE and hold accountable liquor licensees that sell to minors,” said
ABC Director Jerry R. Jolly.
