Which statement best describes the focus of the T.R.A.C.E program?

• A. Deterrence of alcohol theft
• B. Identify and investigate where persons under 21 obtain alcohol and who was killed or obtained serious injury or accident
• C. Training staff on customer service
• D. Managing inventory of alcoholic beverages

Answer: (B)

The TRACE program focuses on tracing where alcohol is getting to underage drinkers and investigating cases where underage consumption leads to death, serious injury, or a serious accident. This approach targets the sources and pathways that enable underage access, so enforcement and licensees can intervene and prevent future harm. It’s not primarily about deterring theft, staff customer-service training, or simply managing inventory, which are different areas of responsibility.
