On February 20, 2026, ABC and DEU organized a Minor Decoy operation in the City of Thousand Oaks. A person under the age of 21 years old was used as a decoy to enter licensed establishments with the intent of purchasing alcoholic beverages. The decoy attempting to make the illegal purchase of alcohol, is dressed conservatively, provides identification when asked, and makes no attempts to mislead the seller. All questions asked by the seller to the decoy are also answered honestly. The decoy is supervised by deputies from DEU and ABC during the entire process.
