Troy Police Will Be Tagging People All Summer

Troy, MI — Don’t be surprised if your kids come home this summer with Frisbees they didn’t have when they left the house.

It’s all OK.

Troy police officers will be more visible in the community under Operation Safe Summer, and will be talking with residents and distributing safety lights for bikers, runners and walkers and Frisbees and coupons for free Slurpees.

The purpose of the program is to promote safe, positive summer activities and encourage Troy residents and visitors to get to know the police officers, according to a news release. 

Safety lights distributed by officers will help illuminate bike riders, walkers and runners at night and in the early morning hours. Those participating in outside, night time activities are also encouraged to wear reflective clothing and be vigilant for oncoming vehicles.

Specifically for kids, the Slurpee coupons have been provided by 7-Eleven to encourage good behavior youth during the hot summer months. 

The Troy Police Department is also furnishing Frisbees to promote positive activity for young people.
