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 DQ Grill & Chill. 2021 marks the program’s 13th year.
Morrison Police Department’s Helmet Incentive Program offers an reward to those children (ages 3-16) that wear their helmet when bicycling.
Chief Melton explains, “Starting today 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 DQ Grill & Chill in Morrison.” Melton continues, “We hope this program continues to encourage parents and our youth, to wear their helmets and practice bicycle safety when riding.”
Melton closed with, “We are very grateful to DQ Grill & Chill, Ellen and Bart Smith, and their staff for their continued support. Most importantly, we are excited about having the opportunity again this year. We hope to reward even more children this year. So wear your helmets, and encourage others to do so, as well!”
