LITH Police to Award Slurpees for Good Deeds
Police officers will also be handing out vouchers for a 7-Eleven slurpee to those practicing safety.
For 22 years, 7-Eleven has helped police departments around the country connect with the community. This year, 7-Eleven and the Lake in the Hills Police Department have partnered with police officers participating in #OperationChill. Police officers will be looking for and rewarding kids and young adults doing good deeds and practicing safety.
Such things would include but are not limited to: wearing bike helmets or protective skate board gear, wearing seat belts, doing good deeds like helping their families, participating in community activities/organizations, participating in safety programs and more, according to a news release.
If community youth are "caught in the act," officers can “ticket” them with a coupon for a free small Slurpee drink at any participating 7-Eleven store.

Those being caring, thoughtful, safe and responsible individuals," said Lake in the Hills Officer Amanda Schmitt in a news release.
