Oak Brook Police Reports Success in Tobacco Compliance Checks
Oak Brook, II—March 2019. Oak Brook Police Detectives conducted compliance checks
on all tobacco retailers within the community. Oak Brook is pleased to report 100%
compliance in tobacco compliance checks.
The compliance checks are performed to determine if local tobacco retailers are complying
with Illinois minimum -age tobacco laws which prohibit the sale of tobacco to persons under
the age of 18. With the help from a grant awarded by the Illinois Department of Human
Service, Oak Brook Police Department educates local tobacco retailers on minimum -age
tobacco laws and the importance of verifying the age of customers before selling age -
restrictive products such as tobacco.
"We will continue our efforts to achieve 100% compliance from all of our retailers and
insure the children in our community do not have access to tobacco products in Oak Brook."
said Chief James Kruger.
This campaign is funded by a grant through the Illinois Department of Human Service,
Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery.
