View brand assetsRecent coverage and speaking
BARS has been quoted in trade press on the FDA's expansion of tobacco enforcement priorities. We've also co-hosted webinars with We Card and ServSafe Alcohol on measuring training effectiveness, and spoken at NACS, NRA, and state-level retail and licensing association events.
Spokespeople
BARS leadership is available to comment on regulatory developments, government enforcement trends, training effectiveness research, category-specific compliance dynamics, and how a disclosed compliance check program differs from a state or FDA sting. Bios are available on request.
