The 2022 EUDL Training is a four hour block about the Enforcement of Underage Drinking Laws. It specifically covers Dirigo’s current EUDL Grant through the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, but also discusses how departments can work with BABLO (the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations) to enforce liquor law violations, and discuss current strategies in use with other departments.
The first hour will discuss the current grant funding set up through Dirigo Safety, evaluate its current status and discuss considerations for the future.
