The Livingston County Community Alliance, in conjunction with the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, has been conducting alcohol compliance checks using underage decoys to enforce liquor law sales in Livingston County.

Since June 2025, Livingston County Sheriff’s Office has visited 124 retailers throughout the county. Out of those visited, 116 people refused to sell to the underage decoys, a compliance rate of 93%.

“We would like to congratulate the following businesses. We believe that with the help of local businesses refusing to sell alcohol to underage people, the Livingston County community can avoid the problems that come with underage drinking,” the Community Alliance said in a release. “Selling alcohol is a legitimate business that plays a vital role in our community. This privilege has specific responsibilities attached to it. We thank each of you for fulfilling those responsibilities and look forward to your continued support in the future.”
