Sheriff asks commissioners to approve overtime grant application to enforce tobacco sales to minors
Summary
The board approved the sheriff’s application to seek overtime grant funding for enforcement targeted at preventing underage tobacco sales; sheriff said the project mirrors prior alcohol enforcement overtime programs.
Oklahoma County commissioners on Oct. 22 approved a request from the sheriff to apply for overtime grant funding to enforce laws prohibiting tobacco sales to minors.
The sheriff said the application is the first step in seeking grant money to fund overtime enforcement operations similar to earlier alcohol-sale enforcement projects. He said the program would be overtime-based and would not affect staffing levels.
Commissioners approved the motion by voice vote.
