Ice Cream Citations!

This happens to be where I live. Does your community do this or something similar in the summer, or year-round?

Apex North Carolina’s Police Department is cracking down on kids who are practicing bicycle/skateboard/scooter safety!

Per their Facebook page:

“This young lady was issued a citation today. Yes, I said a citation! She was issued a citation for wearing her bike helmet and riding safely! What does her ticket get her???? A FREE ice cream cone!”

This summer officers will be issuing “citations” to kids 12 and under who are practicing safety. The citation entitles them to a free ice cream cone for being smart and riding safe!"
