Business Compliance Checks in
Fair Oaks Police District
Fair Oaks Police District - On Friday, September 18 officers from the Fair Oaks District Station, along with a member of the Traffic Safety Services unit conducted business compliance checks at several locations in the Fair Oaks area of Fairfax County. The sting was part of the ongoing Youth Alcohol/Business Compliance enforcement campaign which was conducted using a county police cadet dressed in plain clothing to purchase alcohol. The cadet entered stores and attempted to purchase alcohol. If asked whether he was 21 years old, the cadet was to respond with his true age and/or date of birth. If asked for identification, he was to tell the clerk that he had no identification with him. If the sale of alcohol took place, the plain-clothed officer would take possession of the alcohol from the cadet and make the appropriate charge(s), along with the assistance of the uniformed officer assigned to the team.
As a result of this operation, 21 locations were entered. Two violations occurred and two arrests were made.
Locations where the violations occurred:
1. CVS Pharmacy 13031 Lee Jackson Memorial Highway
2. A Plus Mart 12730 Shops Drive, Fairfax
The stings were conducted using one team consisting of one plain-clothed officer, two uniformed officers, and one cadet.
