ICRUD initiatives
Project
ACE – Alcohol Compliance Enforcement
Working with the Pacific Institute of Research and Evaluation (PIRE),
ICRUD provides training for local law enforcement agencies on conducting
alcohol compliance checks. Law enforcement, working with youth 18-20
as well as community members, provide a fair opportunity for retailers
to sell alcohol responsibly by sending a minor in to attempt a purchase.

ICAN/
ICAT - College Initiatives
In May of 1998, college administrators and educators were able to
meet together for the first time in Indiana to discuss solutions
to reduce problem drinking on campuses. This effort has continued
through other events involving college presidents, educators, and
students. In 2003, the coalition introduced both ICAN and ICAT initiatives.
ICAN is the Indiana Collegiate Action Network, a statewide group
of campus/community prevention professionals who address high-risk
drinking on a statewide level.
ICAT is the Indiana College Advocacy Teams, a statewide group of
college-aged students who address high-risk drinking on their campus
and in their community.
