Vancouver – Kids who are spotted being responsible or positive might get a treat for doing so — a coupon for a 7-Eleven Slurpee.
The Vancouver Police Department is again working with the convenience store for Operation Chill Program, meant to help law enforcement build more positive relationships with children.
The agency was given a generous allotment of coupons for free Slurpees to give out to children exhibiting positive behavior, such as wearing bike helmets and participating in summer youth programs.
“Anytime an officer can have a positive connection with a young person it’s an opportunity to strengthen our community,” Vancouver Police Chief James McElvain said in a press release.
