Who must confirm alcohol server certification?

  1. The local police department

  2. The mayor

  3. The licensee

  4. The serving employee themselves

The correct answer is: The licensee

The licensee is responsible for confirming alcohol server certification, as they are ultimately responsible for ensuring their business is in compliance with local and state laws regarding alcohol service. The local police department or the mayor do not have a direct role in certifying servers, and the serving employee themselves should not be responsible for confirming their own certification. This is to prevent any potential conflicts of interest and to ensure the certificate is objectively verified.
