A relatively small number of restaurants, bars and clubs in Ventura County create significant concerns for local residents and law enforcement. Typically, these businesses have problems with over-serving patrons or become lax with ID checking, resulting in sales or service to underage persons.

One aim of Ventura County Limits is to regularly monitor the businesses that generate the most DUI offenders, and then to systematically gauge the nature and severity of problems associated with alcohol service in these venues.
