Dedham Police To Conduct Alcohol Compliance Checks

DEDHAM, MA — The Dedham Police Department is getting ready to start alcohol compliance checks for 2021.

The department announced on Wednesday that compliance checks would happen throughout 2021. The purpose of these compliance checks is to make sure liquor license holders within Dedham are complying with the regulations put forth by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission.

As part of these compliance checks, the Dedham Police may have underage operatives without any valid identification try to buy alcohol. Police said the operative might also show a real driver's license but that shows they are underage, to be sure that liquor license holders are actually checking the license and understand what they are looking for.
