It's part of the explorer, the police program.
They want to be cops one day.
So we go undercover and we send them in with money and try to buy beer.
Oh, my God.
And what we were doing in the beginning was,
If they sold them beer, we were giving them a notice to appear, the clerks, right?
But they weren't paying any attention to us.
They were just taking their ticket, paying their fine, and going around.
So I said, hey, we'll stop that.
Now when they go undercover, and we call it auditing, we audit these stores.
When they sell beer to an undercover child, we arrest them, put them in handcuffs, and take them to jail.
It has slowed the sale of alcohol down to minors.
Of course.
Oh, we do them every week or two.
And how many kids do you guys send out?
We normally send, we'll send a team out.
So say tonight, it's run out of our school resources division.
So our deputies get a lot of feedback about, hey, we heard that this store is selling to children or this store is selling to children.
So our school resource deputies,
take our students that are in our cadet program, and we go work undercover, and we'll do 10, 15, 20 stores a night depending on how many arrests we make.
