Do Good, Get A Cool Reward From Point Pleasant Beach Police

POINT PLEASANT BEACH, NJ — Kids in Point Pleasant Beach who get caught by the police doing positive things will be rewarded this summer, Point Pleasant Beach police announced.

Operation Chill is underway, and that means police will be handing out coupons for small Slurpees at 7-Eleven, the police department said.

"In addition to recognizing great kids, Operation Chill provides opportunities for officers to establish a positive connection with kids in their neighborhood," police said.

The reasons for being rewarded with coupons can be anything from wearing a helmet while riding a bike to picking up litter to helping a neighbor.

Operation Chill was founded in Philadelphia in 1995 to give law enforcement officers a positive way to interact with children and teens. The community outreach program now has more than 1,100 law enforcement agencies across the country participating.

Through Operation Chill, 7‑Eleven has donated more than 23 million free Slurpee drink coupons across the country.
