1) an Investigator position within the Alcohol Beverage Control Board to perform compliance checks and shoulder taps;

2) ongoing certification of DJJ staff as substance abuse counselors to work with youth in the juvenile justice system who may have substance abuse issues;

3) systems improvements to strengthen and develop more culturally focused substance abuse treatment and education for youth in secure care and in their communities;

4) training and supervision for youth to get the message out against underage drinking; and

5) intervention services, coordinated law enforcement activities, and environmental prevention strategies involving local youth that are specifically targeted to rural Alaskan communities.
