Campaign targets alcohol sellers
Shops and pubs are being urged to be aware of the Government's Responsible Alcohol Sales Campaign (RASC), which is running until 23 December.
Police will target 'problem' pubs and shops selling alcohol to people who are 'unequivocally' drunk, which is illegal under the Licensing Act 2003.
They will also visit places selling alcohol to remind owners and staff of the law and their responsibilities, the Association of Convenience Stores (ACS) said.
The police involved in the campaign are operating both covertly - when they will observe undercover - and via dynamic targeting, when they will follow obviously drunk people into pubs and off-licences to see whether they are served with alcohol.
