OJJDP's State and Community Development Awards program was established to provide grants and cooperative agreements to organizations that OJJDP has selected for funds in prior years. This program has been authorized by an Act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice.
The goal of the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Program is to support and enhance State efforts, in cooperation with local jurisdictions, to enforce laws prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages, or the consumption of alcoholic beverages by minors. For the purpose of the program, minors are defined as individuals under 21 years of age.
In Utah, a statewide compliance check program is funded through the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and the main focus of the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Block Grant program is multi-agency Youth Alcohol-Drug Enforcement Task Forces. The task forces target alcohol violations and illegal drug activity, with a specific focus on youth and adults who provide alcohol to youth. The task forces conduct shoulder tap operations, parking lot surveillance, party patrol operations and other innovative enforcement activities.
EUDL will enhance underage drinking enforcement training opportunities for officers, project directors, supervisors and law enforcement officers on enforcement and reporting requirements.
