Course Objective

This 5-hour program has been designed by the Alcohol Policy Resource Center at Prevention First to provide students with the necessary guiding principles to supervise and conduct alcohol and tobacco compliance checks in accordance with the Illinois Model Policy Guidelines.

This course provides information on conditions that merit the use of compliance checks as well as policies and procedures for conducting these operations within state guidelines. At the completion of this session, participants will be certified by the State of Illinois to supervise compliance check operations within their community as required by state law.
