LIQUOR COMPLIANCE
CHECKS COMING SOON
In an effort to ensure the safety of the
community, the Police Department
will be conducting liquor compliance
checks over the next several months to
identify establishments which are not
adhering to Colorado State and local
codes pertaining to the sale of
alcoholic beverages including the sale
or service to underage persons. During
the compliance check, detectives
monitor establishments for liquor
violations.
If found to be in violation, licensees
must answer to the Village’s Liquor
License Authority (City Council).
Some possible
actions by the
Authority, against a
business with a
liquor license can
include:
• A two-day to
six-month
suspension
during which
the licensee is
prohibited from
selling alcohol.
• The licensee can
be issued fines
and costs.
• The licensee may be ordered to
implement preventative procedures
and training such as TIPS (Training
for Intervention Procedures)
Alcohol Training.
• A permanent revocation of the
license.

Employees who are cited for serving
alcohol to minors or over-serving
intoxicated persons are issued a ticket
to appear in Greenwood Village
Municipal Court where the penalty
can be a fine up to $2,650 and/or
imprisonment for a period of time not
to exceed 180 days.
Greenwood Village views the holding
of a liquor license as a privilege.
License holders are responsible for
educating their employees on how to
read IDs to determine the purchaser’s
age. One small decision could have a
devastating impact on an entire
community. Businesses and servers
undertake a high level of responsibility
to ensure the safe and legal delivery of
alcohol to their patrons.
For more information on how to
prevent a liquor violation, please call
the Police Department at
303-773-2525. On a routine basis,
the Police Department works with
area businesses to educate and assist
employees regarding the service and
sales of liquor. The Police Department
also helps employees identify
intoxicated individuals and recognize
false identification documents.
Specific questions related to your
current liquor license may be directed
to the City Clerk’s Office at
303-486-5752. GV
