C-COMPASS was awarded a grant in the fall of 2008 for $2,500.00 from the Northwest Regional Highway Safety Network to work with local establishments to get their servers/sellers trained through the Responsible Alcohol Management (R.A.M.P.) Training Program, offered by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB).  This grant will help to subsidize the cost of training for 120 employees of local taverns and beer distributors in detecting fake ID’s, identifying intoxicated patrons, and in knowing the Pennsylvania laws regarding alcohol.

 

The cost of R.A.M.P. training is $25 per employee.  C-COMPASS is encouraging liquor licensees to participate in this program and will reimburse the owners/managers $15 per employee trained.  The trainings are facilitated by Robert Raphael, an independent R.A.M.P. trainer approved by the PLCB and are held at either Gannon University or Penn State Erie, The Behrend College.                                                          

 

Eighty employees of fifteen licensees have participated in the program through May 2009.  Two additional training dates are remaining:  Saturday, July 25^th and Sunday, August 9^th.  Both of these sessions will be held at Gannon University from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.  For more information about the trainings or to register, contact Ms. Julie Srnka, Gannon University, at 814-871-5649 or srnka001@gannon.edu.
