New powers to tackle teen drinking come into force |
|
|
|
|
The powers were introduced through the
Policing and Crime Act, which received Royal
Assent in November 2009, and can be used from
today by police forces across England and Wales.
The powers include:
- confiscating alcohol from young people -
by amending police powers to confiscate
alcohol so that they no longer need to prove
that the individual 'intended' to consume the
alcohol;
- greater power to tackle persistent
underage drinkers - by introducing a new
offence for under-18s of persistently
possessing alcohol in a public place.
Councillors are Interested Parties
Also coming into effect today are tough new
powers for local councillors to tackle
problem premises. In addition to the police
and members of the public, local councillors
will now also be able to call for a review to
restrict or remove an alcohol retailer's licence.
