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:
“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)
“Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“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)
