This change is only going to come about
when we really collaborate families, schools, churches.
We have to be on the same page, we have to make sure
that we're sending a consistent message.
One of the advantages of starting at the county
level was that we could invite people, engage people.
And we have people from law enforcement.
We have people from education.
We have people from...package stores.
We have treatment programs, we have parents.
We have the judges from our family court.
We have people from all walks of life.
We learned early on that partnerships with,
in the community, parent organizations, college and
group...organizations, churches and different
segments of the community, is necessary to deal with the
problem of underage drinking.
Hi.
Especially 'cause our store's very close to a
State university, so we are really in touch with
the local police agencies and the school as well.
And anytime there's any type, type of concert or
any event that the school might be having, they
really give us a, you know kind of a heads up saying,
this weekend there's going to be a concert what have
you, so be, you know be extra vigilant.
Whatever, when you walk into that room, whatever's
in there, you own it, it's yours.
What we've been fortunate in this region to be able
to have is that good, cooperative and
collaborative effort.
We train on the same topics, we, we make sure
that our officers have the same information.
And again, that makes all of our jobs a 100 percent easier.
Our goal is to try to reduce or in fact
eliminate and our partners are critical to this, this concept.
The New York State police can never do this alone.
