Ninety-nine people were contacted during the Shoulder Tap Operation that resulted in the
issuance of 5 citations for furnishing alcohol to a minor and 1 citation for possession of an open
container of alcohol. Criminal complaints will be submitted to the District Attorney’s Office
regarding the individuals who furnished alcohol to a minor and possessed open containers of

law enforcement agencies. The program is designed to keep alcohol away from minors.

crime through enforcement, education, and community involvement.
