Between June 16 and July 1, 2010, an estimated 28,000 students will graduate from LAUSD high schools. Based on past events, it is anticipated that many of these students will be celebrating this significant event in their young lives. However, a number of them will be attempting to use alcoholic beverages as a means of enhancing their celebrations. In an attempt to reduce the availability of alcoholic beverages to underage individuals and thereby save lives, vice units will be conducting a series of minor decoy and decoy shoulder tap operations coinciding with high school graduations in their respective areas.

Beginning June 1, 2010, Area Vice Units will conduct minor decoy and decoy shoulder tap operations at licensed Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) locations in the proximity of LAUSD high schools.

On the weekend of June 19-20, 2010, Area Vice Units will be on maximum deployment and focus specifically on alcohol-related crime issues involving underage minors attempting to purchase alcoholic beverages via the minor decoy and decoy shoulder tap operations. These operations are designed to inhibit the flow of alcoholic beverages at the two primary sources: licensed locations and the parking lots of these locations. Surveys conducted by major universities indicate that approximately 75 percent of high school seniors have consumed an alcoholic beverage in the past six months. Studies also indicate that 46 percent of these students will obtain the alcoholic beverage by soliciting adults outside of markets and liquor stores.

Shoulder tap operations are specifically designed to curtail this type of activity.

Operation ABC personnel are releasing this media advisory to alert those individuals likely to furnish alcoholic beverages to under-aged individuals, that the LAPD will be conducting undercover operations and will aggressively prosecute those individuals who knowingly put alcohol in the hands of a minor.

Shoulder tap operations, similar to minor decoy operations, involve the soliciting of individuals outside of licensed ABC retail establishments to purchase an alcoholic beverage for a minor. Last year’s 2009 Safe & Sober Graduation Operation resulted in the solicitation of 737 adults, with 76 violations. Statistically, 90 percent of all adults approached refused the minor decoys’ request for alcohol. Additionally, 441 licensed ABC locations within close proximity of and colleges were inspected via the minor decoy program, which resulted in 82 clerks being cited for selling alcoholic beverages to underage individuals (representing an 81 percent compliance rate).

Individuals convicted of furnishing a minor with an alcoholic beverage face a mandatory $1000 fine and 24 hours of community service.

Subsequent Decoy Shoulder Tap Operations will be scheduled throughout the summer on a Citywide basis in order to curtail the accessibility of alcoholic beverages to minors and reduce alcohol-related crimes.

Hundreds of people from the business, residential and non-profit communities of Los Angeles will gather at the LAPD Olympic Station to conduct a Peaceful March Against Crime and Drugs. The march will leave the Olympic Station (1130 S. Vermont Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90006) at 10:00 AM led by City and State politicians and community leaders. The march will head northbound on Vermont Ave. to Olympic Blvd., then westbound on Olympic Blvd to Normandie Ave., then
northbound on Normandie Ave. to northbound on Irolo St., until hitting San
Marino St. at which time the march will proceed westbound until coming to a
stop at the Seoul International Park auditorium (3250 San Marino St., Los
Angeles, CA 90006).

This event is being organized by the Unification of Disabled Latin Americans (UDLA), the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) and the Wilshire Center Business Improvement Corporation (WCBIC). The purpose of this march is to bring together all ethnic groups of Los Angeles to unite in one force in the fight against crime, drugs, gangs, and graffiti. Assisted by the LAPD, participants will carry signs, flags, banners and chant out against crime and criminal activity in English, Spanish, Korean and Bengali. This march will bring out the best in Angelinos and represent what happens when people unite for a cause for the common good.

Once participants arrive at Seoul International Park there will be sense of fun and camaraderie as everyone will mix and mingle in the auditorium while they enjoy listing to a few words from our elected officials, community leaders and police officers. Refreshments will be served and everyone who participates will receive a goodie bag. Participants will then have the option of boarding a shuttle van to return to their car or walking back. Parking at the Olympic Station will be limited to street parking so participants are encouraged to carpool to event starting point.
