HomeMy WebLinkAboutApr 2020 ICPD Bar Check Report FROM: Sergeant Derek Frank RE: April 2020** Bar Check Report DATE: May 6, 2020 This report tracks the performance of Iowa City liquor license establishments in monitoring their patrons for violations of Iowa City’s ordinances on Possession of Alcohol Under the Legal Age (PAULA) and Persons Under the Legal Age in Licensed or Permitted Establishments (Under 21). “Bar checks” are defined by resolution as an officer-initiated check of a liquor establishment for PAULA or other alcohol-related violations. This includes directed checks of designated liquor establishments, and checks initiated by officers as part of their routine duties. It does not include officer responses to calls for service. The bar check ratios are calculated by dividing the number of citations issued to patrons at an establishment during a period of time by the number of bar checks performed during the same time period. If at any time a venue with a granted exception certificate has a PAULA ratio more than .25 during a 12-month period, their certificate is reviewed for revocation. Note, while the resolution requires that bar checks and citations of the University of Iowa Department of Public Safety (DPS) be included in these statistics, the DPS ceased performing bar checks and issuing these citations to patrons in May of 2014. **It should be noted that COVID-19 pandemic-related changes and mandates from the State of Iowa greatly impacted businesses and the Iowa City Police Department procedures during the time of this evaluation by reducing person-to-person contact and requiring various business closures.
