North Reading Police to Conduct Alcohol Compliance Checks

NORTH READING  — Chief Michael P. Murphy reports that the North Reading Police Department will be conducting alcohol compliance checks at local liquor establishments.

Over the next several months, North Reading Police will conduct the compliance checks to ensure that all licensed liquor-selling establishments in town are operating in accordance with the law and not selling to minors.

Enforcing the laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol to underage individuals can help prevent alcohol-related traffic crashes, which needlessly claim the lives of young adults every year across the U.S. In addition, nuisance calls like fights, vandalism and noise complaints often involve young people who were drinking alcohol.

“No single approach will entirely solve underage alcohol consumption,” Chief Murphy said. “However, we think this proactive step, along with other wisely implemented approaches and strategies, can significantly reduce the scope of the problem and help make our youth and our community healthier and safer.”

Effective and regular compliance checks help reduce the sale of alcohol to minors, curbs underage drinking and helps reduce traffic crashes, violence and other alcohol-related health issues.

Reading Police Conduct Alcohol Compliance Checks

100 Percent of Licensed Businesses Were Compliant

READING — Chief Mark D. Segalla reports that the Reading Police Department conducted alcohol compliance checks last week at almost two dozen locations in town, and found 100 percent of businesses to be in compliance.

On Wednesday, Nov. 21, Reading Police deployed underage operatives to 23 restaurants, package stores and clubs in town. The authorized underage individuals unsuccessfully attempted to purchase alcohol at each of the businesses with liquor licenses in town, with the exception of three that were not open during the operation.

“I’m thrilled that all of the businesses we visited last week passed the compliance checks, especially on a day that’s commonly considered to be one of the busiest days of the year for bars, clubs and liquor stores,” Chief Segalla said. “Our department is committed to making sure that all businesses are obeying the law and doing their part to keep alcohol away from minors, which is a responsibility we share as a community.”

Since 2008, town, school and police leaders have worked in close collaboration with the Reading Coalition Against Substance Abuse to improve liquor related policies, responsible beverage service education, training and alcohol enforcement.

On average, businesses achieved a 96 percent compliance rate from 2008-2017, compared with 100 percent this year.

The Reading Police Department will continue to monitor local liquor establishments throughout the year and into the future. Communities like Reading that have reduced the availability of alcohol to underage drinkers have experienced fewer crashes and fewer crimes.

According to the Reading Youth Risk Behavior Survey results, the rate of underage drinking dropped 12 percent between 2007 and 2017.

The businesses that were 100 percent compliant were: 

  • American Legion Post 62
  • Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza
  • Bangkok Spice Thai Restaurant
  • Bertucci’s Italian Restaurant
  • Bunratty Tavern
  • Café Capri
  • Chipotle Grill
  • Chili’s Grill & Bar
  • Fuddruckers
  • Knights of Columbus
  • Liquor Junction
  • Longhorn Steak House
  • Mandarin Reading Restaurant
  • Meadow Brook Golf Club
  • Oye’s Restaurant
