The Century Council is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to reducing drunken driving and underage drinking problems throughout the United States. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the Council was founded in 1991 by a small group of brewers, vintners, distillers and wholesalers. It is currently supported by almost 800 firms.

 What is "Cops in Shops?"

How does it work?

The program places an undercover officer within stores to assist the merchant in preventing the illegal sale of alcohol to minors. A second officer positioned outside the establishment will deter individuals from procuring alcohol for minors.

Why is this program necessary?

Nearly seven young people die each day – about one every 3 ½ hours – in an alcohol-related traffic crash.
