The goal is to enforce underage drinking laws and to prevent impaired driving accidents and fatalities during prom season.
21 locations were recently visited in Effingham County with four being involved in illegal sales to minors.
Two were located in Effingham and two were in Teutopolis.
Four employees were ticketed for Unlawful Delivery of Alcoholic Liquor to a Minor, a Class A Illinois misdemeanor.
