Alcohol Compliance

The regulation of alcohol sales and service is an important element in the safety of our community. Fort Collins Police Services (FCPS) works to support this by providing training to licensed liquor retailers and conducting compliance checks.

Compliance checks are conducted by the FCPS Alcohol Enforcement Officer and underage FCPS Explorers. The underage Explorers will provide an expired horizontal Colorado license that belongs to someone over 21 years old. Explorers attempt to purchase alcohol from licensed retailers, and businesses that sell or serve them are notified of the violation.

Selling alcohol to people under the age of 21 is against the law. Driver’s licenses must be valid, not expired and must belong to the person who is presenting the license.

The penalties for serving an underage person include up to a $5,000 fine or 5-day liquor license suspension for the business. The server is also subject to a citation. Businesses are responsible for providing alcohol service training to staff within 60 days of a liquor hearing.

Alcohol Service Training

The majority of alcohol retailers pass compliance checks, and those who fail are given the opportunity to improve practices and prevent future violations. FCPS supports our local businesses and works to create a collaborative environment that promotes safe, responsible behavior. The FCPS Alcohol Enforcement Officer provides alcohol service training at a cost of $25 per person to all licensed liquor retailers and staff. To request training, please call 970-416-2782.

Mental Health Crisis

If you or someone you know is experiencing an emergency, please call 911. If you think it would be beneficial to have a mental health professional assess and connect the person with services, tell the dispatcher that you’d like to request the Mental Health Response Team (MHRT). If a team member is not available, a patrol officer will respond to assist. All Fort Collins officers receive training related to mental health response.

If you’re dealing with mental or emotional challenges, concerns about alcohol or substance use, or simply need a listening ear, you don’t have to face it on your own. Free and confidential service is a call or text away, 24/7; just dial 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Hotline.
