Alcohol Beverage Control Affected by Furlough Days
RANCHO MIRAGE - Shelley Bishop has spent the last 25 years as an investigator with the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control, California’s vice unit. It keeps an eye on businesses with liquor licenses.
For ABC investigators, it’s a dangerous job. They’re watching stores to make sure alcohol isn’t being sold to kids. They go undercover to bust drug and prostitution rings.
Bishop says adding to the danger are the furloughs, now three Fridays every month.
“We can’t do our job effectively with…it’s hard to begin with, now near impossible,” Bishop noted. ”Kids every day of the week are out there trying to buy alcohol. Drug dealers don’t know days of the week. They know when products are ready and when they can sell it. Same thing with prostitutes.”
There are less than 150 investigators for the entire state. They have to cover more than 80,000 businesses with liquor licenses.
