FONTANA, CA – Officers from the Fontana Police Department, along with inspectors from City of Fontana Code Compliance, City of Fontana Planning Division, City of Fontana Building and Safety, and the Fontana Fire District have completed a special operation called Mini Task Force IMPACT Inspections to check licensed premises that sell alcohol.
On January 25, 2024, authorities visited six licensed establishments in the City of Fontana to conduct IMPACT inspections. IMPACT stands for Informed Merchants Preventing Alcohol-Related Crime Tendencies. It is a cooperative program between the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), local law enforcement agencies, and licensees. During the inspections, only minor violations were noted from each department.
To show the community the various City of Fontana departments work collaboratively, a Mini Task Force was created to include Code Compliance, City Planning, City Building and Safety, and the Fontana Fire District. Officers and inspectors from each division join the Police Department to conduct their respective inspections. The objective for the Mini Task Force is ensure our ABC licensed establishments are maintaining compliance with all local regulations and state laws. Maintaining compliance helps to reduce alcohol-related problems and increases safety for the community.
