The City of Lawrenceville’s Alcohol Compliance Rate is at 100%
The City of Lawrenceville Police Department's compliance check results from April to September 2025 are in for The City of Lawrenceville.

Underage drinking is an important issue that continues to require our attention in Gwinnett County. One way that helps reduce the access our teens have to alcohol is through conducting compliance checks. During these checks, an underage decoy goes inside a restaurant or store and tries to purchase alcohol. If an employee sells to the decoy, he or she receives a citation. This serves as a clear reminder and expectation to check IDs and not sell alcohol to those under 21.
GUIDE would like to recognize and show appreciation to The City of Lawrenceville retailers that did not sell alcohol during compliance checks from April 2025 to September 2025. These stores help us to ensure the teens in our community stay safe.
