ALCOHOL SELLER/SERVER TRAINING

Rockland – On Thursday and Friday, November 15^th and 16th, the Knox County Community Health Coalition (KCCHC), a Healthy Maine Partnership, will be hosting alcohol server trainings. Day 1 will cover issues relevant to retailers while day 2 will address concerns for bars and restaurants.  The trainings will be in the Council Chambers at Rockland City Hall, 270 Pleasant St., Rockland from 8:00 AM – 12:30 PM.

Retired Liquor Control Officer Frank Lyon of BC Consultants will be presenting this state certified training.  The training covers liquor liability laws, fraudulent ID’s, how to effectively handle visibly intoxicated persons, and strategies restaurants/retailers can adopt to protect their business and patrons.  Quality training has proven to be an effective tool which when applied: prevents costly violations; instills more confidence in your alcohol servers; may reduce Liquor Liability Insurance (check with your insurance provider)

Those who successfully complete the program will be registered with the Maine Department of Public Safety, Liquor Licensing and will receive a certificate that is good for three years.

 Partnering with KCCHC for this event are the Knox County law enforcement agencies.  KCCHC is a community prevention group that works on the issues surrounding substance use, physical activity, nutrition, tobacco cessation and chronic disease.

Space is limited to 30 people so please register by November 12th.  A training fee of $30 for each day is payable to BC Consultants.
