1. Describe your project in detail. What are the goals? What problem or situation do you want
to address?
One of the greatest inhibitors to the successful completion of a college degree is
the use of alcohol. Underage drinking and alcohol abuse is a problem and major
concern of universities across the nation. The high-risk use of alcohol contributes to
numerous undesirable outcomes including but not limited to; failure to earn a
degree, poor academic performance, driving under intoxication, disorderly
behavior, sexual assaulUrape, personal harm, harm to others, and numerous part I
and quality of life violations.
Underage drinking often occurs at student-occupied housing in residential areas
near campus. Off-campus parties where alcohol is present occurs frequently near
campus and offers an opportuniry for underage students to drink and abuse
alcohol. It is the intention of the Saint Paul Police Department to reduce off-
campus parties and thereby discourage underage drinking from occurring.
The Police Department defines two primary goals to prevent underage drinking of
students. (1) Law enforcement operations will focus on adult providers of alcohol to
minors at off-campus parties near the Saint Thomas and Hamline campuses.
Enforcement officers will seek out and arrest all identifiable alcohol providers. (2)
Minors at parties will be cited for consuming alcohol in hopes of deterring future
alcohol use.
Through a strong and visible police presence at and around Saint Thomas and
Hamline University, Saint Paul Police intend to reduce the number and frequency of
off-campus parties that foster underage drinking. In cooperation with the college
1
aa -y,�v
administrations, we will identify chronic locations where alcohol is being made available.
College students will be held accountable via court unposed sanctions and universiry
disciplinary policy.
2. How does your project promote policy change and support MJT's policy priorities?
This project both supports policy change and MJT's policy priorities by helping
students change perceptions of underage drinking. First and foremost, it sends a
message to underage students that drinking alcohol is illegal and that regarding
underage drinking will be enforced. Secondiy, enforcement of underage drinking
laws is part of MJT's plan to provide education and guidelines for underage at-risk
students. -
3. How will your project reduce youth access to alcohol in your community?
Our project will reduce youth access to alcohol around the Saint Thomas and
Hamline campus areas by actively enforcing underage drinking laws. Saint Paul
Police officers wiif participate in special operations on Friday and Saturday nights
during peak hours for off-campus parties. The operation will determine the location
of off-campus parties, go to the perspective party, arrest alcohof providers, and
issue citations to minor underage students who have used alcohol. In actively
enforcing underage drinking laws and discouraging underage drinking parties,
students will be both more hesitant to host underage drinking parties, and
underage students will be less likely to attend underage alcohol-related parties.
4. What other organization, agencies, and individuals will participate in your project? (Note:
Attach a list of any key collaborators with address, contact names, and phone number.)
The partners involved in this project are the Minnesota Institute of Public Health,
Hamline University, Saint Thomas University, the Zero Adult Provider (ZAP)
community coalition, and the Faith Partners in Austin, Texas. For this mini-grant
application, most partners will take a m+nimal role. This mini-granYs sole purpose is
to increase targeted enforcement involving underage drinking. All other partners
will take a more active role in the primary grant to Prevent High-Risk Drinking of
Violent Behavior Among College Students.
5. If your project includes youth, how will they be involved 'm your project?
This project funds enforcement for the Saint Paul Police Department to uphold
underage drinking laws and prevent underage drinking.
6. Describe your plan to use the media to promote your project or results.
The media will be an active partner in promoting the initiai mini-grant enforcement
project through student newspaper and cable N. Stud �t ho attend underage
drinking parties will, by word or mouth, advertise to thei ow students that the
2
03 •y�o
police aze present actively pursuing off-campus underage drinking parties.
What other projects has your group/organization carried out in the last three years that
indicates we can expect you to be successful with this one?
In the past few years, the Saint Pauf Police Department has participated in similar
efforts focused on adult alcohol providers to minors, off-campus parties, and
enforcing underage drinking laws. The year 2002 resulted in a significant number
of arrests and citations related to underage drinking laws. From April to May of
2002, the Saint Paul Police Department responded to 45 complaints of off-campus
parties. This was a reduction of over 100 calls from 2001. Two (2) citations were
issued to adult providers of alcohol to minors and 75 minors were cited for
underage drinking. From August to November of 2002, police responded to 79 off-
campus party complaints. Seven (7) adults received citations for contributing
alcohol to minors and 130 minors were cited for underage alcohol consumption.
The Saint Paul Police Department has demonstrated knowledge of parties and
action to enforce the prevention of ofiF-campus underage drinking parties in the past
and will build on past successes for future action.
8. Provide a timeline for your project, listing the major steps you will take to complete it, who is
responsible for carrying it out, and completion date.
Step Person/Group Responsible Completion Date
5 enforcement nights 1 Sergeant, 3 Police Officers June 30, 2003

requesting. Do not list "miscellaneons" or "supplies" or other general categories as items.

11. How will you follow up on your project? What do you anticipate will occur after your project
is complete?
The follow-up for this project will consist of: (1) Compiling the number of complaints
of off-campus parties, the number of citations to adult providers of alcohol to
underage students, and the number of minors cited for underage drinking. (2)
Reporting the relevant information to Hamiine and Saint Thomas University. (3)
Continue to communicate with crime prevention personnel from both universities,
providing an avenue that promotes options to continue the efforts to reduce
underage drinking among students.
The Saint Paul Police Department anticipates continued funding for future
enforcement efforts. The Saint Paul Police Department is partnering with Minnesota
Institute of Public Health, Hamline University, Saint Thomas University, the Zero
Adult Provider (ZAP) community coalition, and the Faith Partners in Austin, Texas to
expand upon the program. This program will incorporate aicohol prevention
education, enforcement of laws pertaining to alcohol use among underage students,
and a social marketing campaign that creates a stronger link beiween university and
law enforcement strategies.
