I have been a District Court Judge in Minnesota for 28 years, having pioneered national Drink
Driving Programs. In that capacity, I have known and worked with Robert Pomplun for the last
12 years in his capacity of training and responsible beverage service.

Bob Pomplun is THE premier bar server trainer in Minnesota, having trained thousands
of bar servers and has developed signage for “House Policies” that is now displayed in liquor
establishments in hundreds of communities throughout Minnesota.

Bob has worked with me in different capacities as we have created one of the most
successful SAFE CAB programs and non-profits in Minnesota dedicated to successfully
transporting people home from drinking establishments.

I have introduced Bob at large public safety venues where I say simply that his work and
efforts “have saved lives!”

I look forward to continued working with Bob Pomplun in his ongoing efforts to better
educate the public to make informed decisions regarding the use of alcohol.

Sincerely,

James E. Dehn
Judge of District Court

This is to confirm that Serving Alcohol, Inc. is our top trainer for alcohol awareness in the Midwest. Over the past 25 years, we have received nothing but positive feedback from bar and restaurant owners who have worked with you. Since most insurance carriers continue to require all servers to take courses, I would highly recommend your services to any liquor liability provider.

We appreciate our partnership with you!

I have been working with Robert Pomplun since the 90s, and he is probably the most knowledgeable and best prepared for alcohol awareness in this state. I also own a Bar & Grill in Buffalo, Minnesota, and we just recently had him out to do our liquor awareness. We like that if one of the employees cannot make it for some reason, they can go online and take the course on Serving Alcohol. I also write business papers in other states and always recommend they attend his online courses.

I have had the opportunity to work with Serving Alcohol, Inc. (SAI) for over 28 years.  As an independent insurance agent, I represent several carriers that offer liquor liability in the standard and the excess and surplus lines markets.  My commercial business book consists of multiple liquor license holders mandated to carry liquor liability insurance by state and municipal law.  Many services offer “Server Training,” but none have shown the level of professionalism and expertise that (SAI) has shown. I can personally say that my first choice to recommend any server training program to my clients is (SAI).  All the seminars offered by (SAI) are conducted thoroughly and efficiently. Most liquor liability insurance companies require a certificate of completion for server training from their insureds. When my clients have completed a seminar from (SAI), I can honestly represent to my carrier that they have gone through a meaningful and legitimate server training program. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or concerns regarding my experience with Serving Alcohol, Inc.
