Retail Scans
What Are Retail Scans?
Retail scans involve systematic assessments conducted by our coalition members to monitor and evaluate how well local stores adhere to established health services and regulatory guidelines regarding the sale of alcohol and cannabis products. These evaluations help us ensure that stores are not only following the law but also maintaining practices that protect the health and safety of our community.
Objectives of Retail Scans
Compliance Monitoring
To ensure that stores comply with county health services and guidelines for the sale of alcohol and cannabis products.
Support Identification
To pinpoint stores that may require additional support or resources to meet compliance standards.
Flagging Non-Compliance
To identify stores that are not in compliance with guidelines, which can then be flagged for further action by county authorities.
Why Conduct
Retail Scans?
Retail scans are vital for maintaining a safe and healthy environment within our community. By regularly assessing stores, we can:
Protect Youth
Ensure that stores are not selling alcohol or cannabis products to minors, thereby reducing underage consumption.
Promote Responsible Sales
Encourage stores to follow best practices for the sale of regulated substances, minimizing the risk of misuse and abuse.
Enhance Community Health
Support public health initiatives by ensuring that alcohol and cannabis sales are conducted in a manner that prioritizes community
well-being.
Our Commitment
We are committed to maintaining the highest
standards of health and safety in our community. Our
ongoing retail scans play a critical role in achieving this goal, helping us create a safer environment for
all residents.
By working together, we can ensure that the sale of
alcohol and cannabis products is conducted responsibly, protecting the health and future of
our community.
