OPP officers will be demonstrating to youngsters that getting caught doing the right thing can be cool this summer.
Through an ongoing partnership with Circle K Convenience Stores, OPP officers who see young people doing random acts of kindness and exhibiting positive behaviour will be handing out "tickets", which are actually coupons valid for a free Froster beverage at Circle K stores.
The spring launch of "Operation Freeze" in Huron County is Tuesday at the Circle K Convenience Store in Wingham at noon.
A youth may receive a "positive ticket" from an officer for positive behaviours such as doing a good deed, participating in community activities, demonstrating community pride, picking up trash, deterring crime, observing school crossing rules, or as an ice-breaker to establish rapport with kids in their patrol area.
"Circle K is excited to once again partner with the OPP on this important initiative that encourages kids across Ontario to make positive decisions within their communities," said Sean Sportun of Circle K stores in Central Canada in a media release.
