--- ## title: Attachment 1 - 2026 Alcohol Compliance Checks Letter ## author: Rachel Thrasher date: D:20260506192500Z --- ## Roseville Police Department ## 2660 Civic Center Drive ## Roseville, MN 55113 S e r v i c e  I n t e g r i t y  R e s p e c t  I n n o v a t i o n 2 0 2 6 A l c o h o l C o m p l i a n c e C h e c k s The Roseville Police Department conducts a minimum of two citywide alcohol compliance checks each year. The police department conducts compliance checks to ensure Roseville alcoholic beverage license holders are complying with state law and city code. When Roseville began alcohol compliance checks in 1997, the compliance rate was only 70%. Our goal is to achieve 100% compliance. R e q u i r e d T r a i n i n g Roseville city code requires all licensees, managers, and employees who serve alcohol to complete a city-approved or city-provided training program. ➢ The required training shall be completed prior to an employee serving or selling alcohol. ➢ The training must be completed on an annual basis for all employees who serve or sell alcohol. ➢ More information on the manager and server training can be found on the police department’s website. D o c u m e n t a t i o n o f T r a i n i n g Your business must maintain documentation you have properly trained every employee who sells or serves alcohol. Per city code, this documentation must be provided to a police officer or designated city employee when requested. Additional penalties may be assessed if you are unable to provide documentation or it is determined an employee did not undergo the required training. P e n a l t y f o r N o n c o m p l i a n c e In addition to any criminal penalties, the City Council may suspend a liquor license, revoke a license, and/or may impose a civil fine on a licensee. The mandatory minimum penalty for the sale of alcoholic beverages to underage individuals is a $2,000 fine for the license holder and a one day suspension for on-sale establishments. Additional administrative penalties will be imposed when there is a history of violations. A d d i t i o n a l I n f o r m a t i o n Any questions regarding compliance checks, training, city code, or state laws can be directed to Deputy Chief Joe Adams at 651-792-7275 or joe.adams@cityofroseville.com.
