PROJECT PROM ALERT
Prevent Underage Drinking
The Swansea Police Department has partnered with the Swansea
Motor Inn, Holiday Inn Express and the Venus DeMilo to support Project Prom
Alert, Prevent Underage Drinking.
This program is intended to increase awareness of underage drinking during prom
season to hopefully prevent a prom night tragedy.
Area hotels have been asked to be vigilant to prom goers who are renting
rooms in their hotels. They have
agreed to notify police if prom goers are checking into the hotel so officers
can do a walkthrough of the hotel and increase patrols at these locations.
The Venus DeMilo makes our community and surrounding
communities popular for prom goers since they host many proms for area schools.
They have provided the police department with the dates of scheduled
proms to be held at their facility.
Officers will step up patrol in and around the Venus DeMilo during these times,
and the Holiday Inn will employ extra staff.
Any evidence of underage drinking at the Hotels will be
reported immediately to police and room occupants will be removed from the hotel
and possibly face criminal prosecution.
Officers will insure that all minors involved have arranged for safe
transportation home.
