In addition to compliance checks, the Joplin Police Department is encouraging local establishments and owners to ensure that each employee responsible for selling alcohol receives proper training. The Department recommends that businesses learn more through Free Responsible Retailer Training, a class for local retailers hosted by the Community Partnership of the Ozarks.
