The Alcohol Policy Resource Center is pleased to announce that on July 1^st, Jody Heavilin became the coordinator for the APRC. Jody will be assisting communities in their efforts to reduce underage drinking and working with municipal leaders to further efforts around sound alcohol policies and law enforcement strategies.

The APRC participated in the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association Summer Conference on August 3rd in East Peoria. There were over 70 Sheriff’s in attendance from all over Illinois. Forty-three of them agreed to participate in our survey.

Surprisingly, only 30% have reviewed local data regarding underage drinking rates and attitudes among youth. Have you connected with your local Sheriff’s Office? This is a great opportunity to share your local Illinois Youth Survey data. Law Enforcement is a vital partner in preventing youth alcohol use. The APRC has resources and webinars to help guide you in working with Law Enforcement.
