OPP Handing Out Positive Tickets to Kids For Positive Community Behaviour
/This summer, the Ontario Provincial Police has begun “Operation Freeze” handing kids “positive tickets” for demonstrating positive behaviour for the community announced Tuesday.

Kids will receive coupons for a free small “Froster” in a partnership with Circle K convenience stores.
Reasons may vary but the OPP is out looking out for the following positive behaviours:
To recognize youth for practicing personal safety such as wearing bicycle helmets
Doing various good deeds
Participating in community activities
Demonstrating community pride (eg. picking up trash)
Deterring crime or observing school crossing rules
As an "icebreaker" to establish a rapport with kids in their patrol area
