Fargo Cass Public Health (FCPH) appreciates the cooperation of the business communities across Cass County. Several times per year, FCPH partners with local law enforcement agencies to carry out alcohol compliance checks in Fargo, West Fargo, and Cass County. The intent of the checks is to ensure alcohol retailers are not selling any alcohol to minors. Licensed alcohol retailers are encouraged to periodically review City Ordinances and state laws related to the sale of alcohol and to include this important information in training for new employees.
