Riverside County Sheriff’s Office Issues 19 Citations and Arrests Two for Outstanding Arrest Warrants in a Statewide St. Patrick’s Day Holiday Enforcement Operation
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office cited 19 individuals for municipal code violations and arrested two for outstanding arrest warrants during ABC’s statewide St. Patrick’s Holiday Enforcement operation on March 17, 2024, at various locations in the city of Lake Elsinore. This enforcement operation is designed to create awareness about the dangers of drinking in public throughout California and keep communities safe.
The operation is intended to create awareness about alcohol related violations including open containers in a public place not designated for alcohol consumption.
“This is important to the city of Lake Elsinore in order to increase protection for youth and to hold accountable problem locations that contribute to an increase in crime,” said Captain J. Rayls.
The goal of the operation is to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors and reduce alcohol-related crime through multiple enforcement, educational, and prevention programs conducted by local law enforcement officers. Operations funded through the grant include Minor Decoy, IMPACTS, Holiday Enforcement and Shoulder Tap Decoy operations.
ABC protects communities through education, prevention, and enforcement programs designed to increase compliance with California’s alcoholic beverage laws.
ABC encourages licensees to sign up for ABC’s Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs (LEAD) training free of charge. Licensees and their employees can now take the training online. They can also sign up for training in person in a classroom setting.
