Programs
Today, Oregon's alcohol regulation program has two major components: Distilled Spirits, and Enforcement and Compliance.
The Distilled Spirits program centrally purchases, warehouses, and distributes distilled spirits to Oregon's 240 state-regulated liquor stores, which are operated and managed by state-appointed liquor agents who act as independent contractors.
The Enforcement and Compliance division has five regional offices—in Portland, Medford, Salem, Bend, and Eugene—that license businesses and enforce liquor laws. Also OLCC Enforcement Agents are considered peace officers under Oregon law, but they do not carry firearms.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
