Morrison Police Chief Brian Melton is proud to announce the Helmet Incentive Program again this year. The program, which started in 2009, is to promote bicycle safety among our youth. It is possible only through the continued partnership and support of the DQ Grill & Chill owners Ellen and Bart Smith.
The Department’s Helmet Incentive Program offers an incentive to those children (ages three-to-16) who wear their helmet when bicycling.
Chief Melton explains, “Starting today, Friday, May 11, 2018, and through the summer months, any time a Morrison Police Officer observes a child between the ages of 3 and 16 safely riding their bicycle with their helmet on, the Officer will reward that child with a coupon for free ice cream at the DQ Grill & Chill in Morrison, IL.”
Melton continues, “We hope this program encourages our youth to wear their helmets and practice bicycle safety when riding.”
Chief Melton closed with, “We are very grateful to the DQ Grill & Chill, owners Ellen and Bart Smith, and their staff for their continued support. Most importantly, we are excited about having the opportunity again this year for the program. We hope to reward even more children this year.”
“So, wear your helmets, and encourage others to do so as well!”
