WEST FARGO — Alcohol compliance checks were performed across West Fargo on November 8 and after checking 21 businesses, 20 passed, resulting in a 95% compliance rate.
Several times a year, the Fargo Cass Public Health (FCPH) Substance Abuse Prevention Program partners with local law enforcement agencies to carry out alcohol compliance checks in Fargo, West Fargo, and Cass County. The intent of the checks is to ensure alcohol retailers are not selling any alcohol to minors. FCPH appreciates the cooperation of the business communities across West Fargo. Licensed alcohol retailers are encouraged to periodically review City Ordinances and state laws related to sale of alcohol and to include this important information in training for new employees.
