Cops in Shops, Students in Jail
On Nov. 21, two underage first-year students were arrested for transporting alcohol which they procured using false identification. The arrests were made as a result of the CPD's new "Cops in Shops" program.
The "Cops in Shops" program places plainclothes police officers in liquor stores posing as store clerks, shelf stockers or customers. Undercover officers are also located outside of liquor stores.
"Cops in Shops," which operates in 38 states, is coordinated nationally by the Century Council, a non-profit organization funded by alcohol distillers to combat alcohol abuse, said Carolyn W. Gasper, public relations manager for the council.
Harvard officials including representatives from the Dean of Students' office as well as the HUPD were involved in planning the Cambridge incarnation of "Cops in Shops" and encouraged its success, said Cambridge License Commission Executive Officer Richard V. Scali.
