TABC Awarded $140,000 Grant to Prevent Alcohol Sales to Minors

NASHVILLE, TN – The Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) received a grant of $140,000 from the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) for increased alcohol compliance operations across Tennessee. The grant requires additional operations in communities that have a higher concentration of alcohol-related traffic fatalities. Agents will use the Tennessee Integrated Traffic Analysis Network (TITAN), operated by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, to identify problem areas.

Chief Law Enforcement Officer Bond Tubbs, a 34-year veteran of the TABC, is excited to receive the grant for increased enforcement counter-measures. “Preventing the sale of alcohol to minors is vitally important to public safety. This grant will fund more compliance checks, and this means fewer minors will illegally receive alcohol. We are thankful for our partnership with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office and look forward to making our roads safer,” said Chief Tubbs.

The grant cycle will run from October 2023 through September 2024. The TABC conducts minor compliance operations across the state and performs high-visibility enforcement operations at heavily attended events.
