Morrison Police Chief Brian Melton is proud to announce the Helmet Incentive Program again this year. The program is to promote bicycle safety among our youth. It is only possible through the continued partnership and support of the DQ Grill & Chill owners, Ellen and Bart Smith.
The Morrison Police 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 and through the summer months, anytime a Morrison Police Officer observes a child, between the ages of three and 16, riding their bicycle with their helmet on, the Officer will reward that child with a coupon for ice cream at the DQ Grill & Chill in Morrison.”
“We hope this program encourages our youth to wear their helmets and practice bicycle safety when riding.”
Melton added, “We are very grateful to the 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 for the program! We hope to reward even more children this year. So, wear your helmets, and encourage others to do so as well!”
