Helmet Incentive Program Celebrates 14 Years!

Posted by

Morrison Police Chief Brian Melton is proud to announce the Helmet Incentive Program again. The program, which started in 2009, is to promote bicycle safety among our youth. It is only possible through the continued partnership and support of the DQ Grill & Chill. 2022 marks the program’s 14th year.

The Morrison Police Department’s Helmet Incentive Program offers an incentive to those children 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 the 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 the DQ Grill & Chill and its staff for their continued support. Most importantly, we are excited about having this opportunity! We hope to reward even more children this year. Wear your helmets, and encourage others to do so as well!”
