SAFE Businesses in Oceanside

SAFE Businesses in Oceanside

Thanks to our funding from DFC (Drug Free Communities), Oceanside SAFE Coalition has been able to bring the NY State Alcohol Training Awareness Program to local businesses within our community free of charge.

With ATAP Training and Certification, employees learn their rights, responsibilities, and liabilities regarding underage and intoxicated customers. Stores establish a standard policy to address checking IDs and supervising their premises, as well as learn to recognize valid forms of ID.

Collectively, through this SAFE campaign licensed premises can play a large role in creating a safer Oceanside for everyone!
